Designed for DirectCompute 5.0 and OpenCL

Any of that to do with AMD cpu specific benefits ?

No physX still, thought they were gonna license it.

I'll just be happy if they have a Nvidia style auto-detect running exe settings style thing as opposed to loading individual profiles in the control panel.

Damn the ATI drivers are good, but the control panel sucks big spherical objects.

Interested in a 5870, but i'm gonna wait for some benchmarks against nVidia DX11.

[Kerotan]

ATI Eyefinity technology with support for up to three displays

Very, very interested in this. Always been put off by the prohibitive cost of Matrox TripleHead2Go, but this could be perfect for some Triple-Monitor FPS/FlightSim goodness. Only problem is I'd have to buy another 2 monitors!

unlikley because ati owns havok which is used much more in games than physx and also because they want to push there own solutions.

Don't know if I got/played a single game with Havok in it. But I do know I have dozens of games with PhysX.

So I really don't know where "much more" comes from.

Saying that I think I might have 1, I'll have to check. If the game I'm thinking of does, it certainly doesn't promote the fact.

EDIT: I just checked and yes it's in CoH.

Amazing thing to me in this official list:

http://www.havok.com/content/blogcategory/29/73/

.. are the number of games that use Havok in console but not PC versions. Quite a few console games there.

Ofc, a 58xx is no good to ur console

EDIT2: And now for the eclipsing list of disclosed games using PhysX (it is also used in non-disclosed games):

These are supposed to be the hardware physx games... not quite sure what physx hardware the ipod has.

I tend to agree with theelusiveyoda on this. A lot more games have Havok. Physx is what I would call rare.

Oblvion?

Fallout?

The good thing about Havok (from a sales point of view) is that consoles can run it. Which means more game developers will choose it over Physx. Which ultimately means more Havok games.
