ATI Announces GPU-based Physics Acceleration Plans

Posted by: Newsfactory on: 06/06/2006 04:56 PM [ Print | 1 comment(s) ] · 1657 views

ATI had a demo system running a pair of Radeon X1900s in CrossFire with a third X1900 card dedicated solely to physics processing. This configuration was appropriately referred to as the "meat stack," and while it produced silky frame rates in a number of demos, it's not the only Radeon configuration that will support GPU physics. In addition to supporting three-card configs, ATI will also allow a pair of its graphics cards to split rendering and physics between them.

So let me get this right. Three $500-$600 cards to play a $50-$60 dollar game? Oh and don't forget there are even Quad systems.

Now throw into the mix a high end 64bit processor, plenty of fast RAM, yada, yada, and you got a $10,000.00 PC to play your $60.00 game.

Me thinks the likes of ATI and nVidia are driving the nail into the coffin of PC gaming.

Even a $600.00 PS3 is starting to look good.
