NVIDIA and Havok Demonstrate World’s First GPU-Powered Game Physics Solution
NVIDIA Corporation, the leader in programmable graphics processor technologies, and Havok, the game industry’s leading supplier of cross-platform middleware, will be demonstrating a physics effects solution that runs completely on a graphics processing unit (GPU) —an industry first—at this year’s Game Developer Conference (GDC) in San Jose, California (March 21st through 24th).
The new software product from Havok—called Havok FX™—enables the simulation of dramatically-detailed physical phenomena in PC games, when powered by GPUs such as NVIDIA GeForce®7 or 6 Series GPUs and further amplified with NVIDIA SLI multi-GPU technology. The Havok FX product is currently in early release to select developers and is expected to be available this summer.
