News Nvidia's PhysX and Flow go open source — Running legacy PhysX on RTX 50 may be possible using wrappers

This is very welcome news, thank you Nvidia.

The way companies conduct themselves these days so often you primarily find that the only proper response is to complain.

yea. It was a great technology right from the beginning, along with the other 'daughter' technologies that came out of it (HairWorks, Turf Effects, and others). They also had a great audio one that was able to render audio to sound like it should in different environments (Hall, small room, open space. Stone, wood, etc). These would have been really awesome if they didn't try to make everything proprietary and it then gets left in the dust by game developers.
I think games could, should have come a lot further graphics wise if NVidia had have gotten on board with Vulkan. Jensen Huang has seriously lost his morals from when he started NVidia. He used to constantly say he wanted to make gaming graphics for everyone; wanting to support the wants and needs of the customers. Now everything is about $$$ and <Mod Edit> over as many as he can to accomplish it. The problem with the power and the 4090s was pretty bad, but it's relatively minor to what's going on with the 50 series (power, as well as missing ROPS - seriously, how do you release a product with missing ROPS and not know about it).

I agree the Soundstorm Audio chip that was part of the nForce2 chip was awesome. Asus A7N8x motherboard had it back in the day.

So you haven't noticed 9070xts are getting their prices jacked up far more than Nvidia's? AMD's MSRP was far faker than Nvidia's and they're not your friend either.

i didnt say they were my friend but nvidia have been hacking prices up since 4090 and amd from uk perspective its more retailers that are artificially jacking up prices the 9070 isnt as bad in the uk.

also there also not jacking up prices from previous gen chips.

infact most previous gen stuff is about 50-100 less. where as every nvidia 4000 series has been jacked up.

You haven't been watching RDNA3 prices have you? XTXs were going for $300 more than before these new cards launched, and they're still$200 more at the lowest. All the RDNA3 cards have gone up as well.

Not in UK I've seen prices come down on UK USA has got the rough end of stick. Most over hiked pricing is vendors at least on UK CCL and scan being most guilty

Bur I've noticed USA always seems to have atrocious pricing.

The issue is more about CUDA 32bit rather than PhysX in those old games. Many CUDA application already being updated to use CUDA 64bit including PhysX. Arkham Knight for example not affected by this issue. And that is a game coming out about a decade ago. Now the gpu PhysX finally open source maybe some interested modder can work to make it work with CUDA 64bit.
