ArmA 3 to use PhysX 3.0.

That was revealed by Bohemia themselves during this year?s E3. The studio is currently in the process of upgrading from PhysX 2 to PhysX 3.0 and that?s one of the reasons why ArmA 3?s Community Alpha has been pushed back ? which is currently slated for an August release. ArmA 3?s Multiplayer mode will also support PhysX effects, so kudos to Bohemia for going into the extra trouble of upgrading to PhysX 3.0.

In case you were unaware of, PhysX V3 is a major rewrite of the PhysX SDK. The new design incorporates the changes that have occurred in the gaming industry in a way to enable it to easily evolve in order to accommodate new platforms and future game design transitions. The biggest feature of PhysX V3 is its effective multi-threaded support, meaning that all PhysX V3 applications will enjoy much greater benefit from multi-core processors than could ever be achieved with earlier versions of PhysX.

So this is CPU-based PhysX correct?

Well, physx can be handled by your cpu or an extra gpu, depending. I dont know too much about the architecture of GPUs but if you have your physx set to cpu, then yes it will take advantage of multiple cores

What other games will use Physx 3 ?

And will gpus that support older versions also support version 3 ?

I am looking forward to it cos it seems to have really helped the vehicles. The old ones were sort of spastic in controls. At least now they will all have their own weight and it will feel right

Maybe, it might be because of some special properties of the GPU, or if the game didnt use the gpu heavily so it made sense to do it there. Like i said i dont know too much about GPUs but just making an educated guess from my CS backround. Most likey its probably just game dependent. Either way, multi-threaded support is definately good
