Wow... look at all the violence I started...
I never mentioned Havok, or wanted to start a big argument.
My point was simply that the "you need to buy nVidia video card to get them" special PhysX effects in Batman were done LONG before. (ie smoke/fog effects in Aquamark3 - its NOT new but gullible younger gamers wont know otherwise).
And in the tomshardware link I posted and others, they clearly show CPU under utilization and little effect when PhysX enabled.
As Chumbucket843 pointed out, this is simply to make sure GPU PhysX looks/performs as good as possible by crippling/not-optimizing it for CPU.
EDIT: STEvil, that Crysis thing was running 0.1fps and sped up for youtube. I dont care if I get 1 000 flying boxes with CPU, or 60 000 flying boxes with nVidia GPU. Problem is nVidia is marketing all these common simple special effects as being only possible on nVidia GPUs.
