Maybe we can use the term "Half Physics" ?

*LOL*
If you are going to add something to Terra...then call me Terracide (secondary nick on the web.)
And you where quite close regarding my specs...give or take a few years *L*
But I guess you attract a lot of "flak" when you take a old P42.4GHz RDRAM rig and plu-in a X-Fi, A Gainward 7800GS and a Physx into it...and start posting results...
No PCI-E, No DDR-2 RAM, no fancy new CPU...just an old rig from 2002 + upgrades...and the best part of it all?
GRAW gamed fine...even Cellfactor on "High"...
But my old CPU(stamped '01..as in produced 2001) couldn't take anymore and decided to die...and my Asus P4T-e decied to be a pal and die right alongside too...damn bugger! *L*
So untill my Asus P5P800SE, Pentuim D940 and 4x 512MB DDR400 arrives, I am stick on a Dell Poweregde 800, with my X-Fi installed for sound..and a genric NONE-DX graphics driver for the E7721 chipset
Terra - But not to worry, I will return with my AGP rig again..and attrackt some more "flak"

Hey that was my solution.
Full tech spec:
A pentium 100
A warm cup of tea
Snake oil
A quad pumped pixel processor running at 8 Ghz
And a fairy tea cake
I can now confirm that the snake oil and teacake are running IN SLi!!
btw: OMGLAWSUIT!!!

I am so sorry... I thought it was terra... I knew I should have read more closely...
so have you done any side by side benches against agiea in CF?
and have you figured out a retro-fit kit for PCI-E? what is the native interface anyhow?
nhusby said:
I've called off my lawyers for now...
In side by side benches it actually jumps out of one comp and strangles the PPU using the DVD-ROM audio cable before jumping back in, finishing off all the physics computations in 10 frames for the next 1/2 hour and afterwards finishes off by draining every fridge in a 2 mile radius of beer.
I'm working on the retrofit... the current interface is via Ouiji board - understandably a complex interface at the best of times.

Considering Audi won LeMans this year with their R10 TDI Diesel, everyone who jumped on this bandwagon probably needs to take a step back and think about all this before they post anything else. Not because you don't know anything about cars, this is a computer forum, but because you should realise that if you're capable of making such a grave(and wide-spread) mistake somewhere else, you're capable of making it here.
Edit: So there aren't any misunderstandings, summary: What you know for sure today could be wrong tomorrow.
you are correct. I have read about that exact car (long time back.) I didnt say it wasnt possible... if you read, I asked a question. How many have you seen? not on tv, not in a magazine, HOW MANY DROVE PAST YOUR HOUSE? I saw videos of ATI's physics demo on the internet, but I havnt played a game with them... not even a demo... (I havnt personally seen or played the DEMO of ageia's either)

Maybe you'd do better asking someone on the other side of the pond this same question? Peugeot's 407 Coupe "high-performance" engine package is, *gasp*, a diesel! Something like 60% of the cars sold by Peugeot in europe are diesel powered. Audi's A3's highest performing engine is, again, a diesel. The A4's highest performing engine(if you're talking about peak numbers only) is a petrol, but, the diesel produces as much torque 1500rpms earlier. Mercedes-Benz puts diesel "sports" engines in their CLK(and other) lines. So while I haven't seen any drive past my house, I've never seen any deadly(to humans) snakes slithering down my sidewalk either. Both seem to exist in great numbers despite that fact. Lousy snakes.
Which is why you should stop now (you utterly raped that which is physics processing in another thread btw).Spewn said:
There would be no debate here if there were no misunderstandings and misuse of wrong terminology, but the car analogy is exempt in that it is an analogy!
Besides, it was a good analogy. You think it is wrong because it is possible for a diesal engine to perform? OMFGzorZx leik Dupont t0ta11y spent leik $50,000,000 in RD to make a diesel outperform!!11!!``1`11 R0f1!11!! leik every performance car will be diesel!11111!!!!!!11 OMFgZox, leik this t0t11y means effects physics are as good as physics!!11

I'm closing this thread.
Be prepared for new discussion tomorrow on the topic
