The resource chile hardware took interview in (Many hedge), head of company ageia, noted for its physical accelerator physX. We propose most interesting endurances from the conversation:
- Among the games of class AAA with the support physX, expected in the present year, Ageia calls Cellfactor: Revolution and Warmonger: Operation owntown destruction. (Will become they real Heath? It is doubtful (note editorial staff)).
- According to the head of company, the projects, which are found in the development now, will begin to operate only the small part of resources physX. On the present only the following wave of games will be able to open the potential of physical processor. What precisely and when they leave - is not refined.
- Ageia even now works at the second generation PPU and will present it, when market is finished.
- PhysX is compatible with Vista and DirectX10, the working version of drivers was completed for several months prior to the start of new OS. Also until today there are drivers for some versions Of linux. The support mac OS at the present moment is absent.
- To a question, does plan Ageia to realize the possibility of overclock PPU, the head of company answered washed away. On its words, overclock appropriate for that component of system, which is bottle neck system. However, physical accelerator is not until today the same. Judging by everything, to rely on the function of overclock in the new drivers thus does not be.
- In the future ageia is intended to realize the possibility of designing configurations two or more physical accelerators on the similarity SLI/crossFire in video card.
- Producer is intended to integrate PhysX in the GPGPU- calculations, after affording thus the possibility to conduct on it the calculations, connected with the creation of digital content, by coding/by decoding video, by financial, medical, design tasks. For this the company develops its own SDK, similar NVIDIA CUDA.
- In the future physX will appear also in the versions for mobile PC. The desktop rule of accelerators will be also augmented by more accessible models.
- At present Ageia conducts negotiations with AMD, NVIDIA, Intel and by other producers apropos of the possibility of introduction PPU into their products.
- In the course Of ceBIT 2007 from Ageia it is worthwhile to await new announcements and demonstrations of the possibilities of physical accelerator.
