I didn't think you were trying to start a fight

Xoulz on the other hand.....

go look up steam hardware, lots of people have quads. and physics can be easily scaled across threads, so whats their excuse? not worth the investment, or were they paid by nvidia to reduce what they wanted for cpu physics to make physx look better? until the answer to that is known, its all just speculation. if my assumption is right, nvidia is hurting the gaming market. if your assumption is right, then developers are just flat out lazy.
According to Nvidia, devs have access to the Physx code base, so they could have optimized it themselves if they wished, but they didn't.

I doubt it would be worth it though. Modern CPUs don't have the FP capability and bandwidth to run the advanced physics effects seen in games like Mafia 2, without severely bogging down the rest of the game...

btw after all the BS nvidia has pulled with physx, i honestly doubt that 3.0 will make everyone happy. i expect some kind of marketing circus again.
I guess we'll have to see whenever they release it.
