shocking difference between the fastest cpu, and the cheapest gpu. I knew there would be a huge gap many times over, but such an exponential advantage was not expected. this really justifies those applications like gpu based physics, for all those physx haters out there.
makes me wish amd would just bite the bullet and use the cuda/opencl apis to dev their own compatible gaming physics platforms, even porting physx directly would give them so much leverage over nv the way things are going right now. most gamers can't really see the advantage in buying amd when they get left out of key features, what good is a blazing fast card when you don't get the eyecandy? nvidia is hanging on a thread here, such wasted opportunity for competition.
unlike physix, this actually has a purpose and just goes to show you that ATi has the superior compute platform for these type of applications.
