Because for those with AMD, it would not change the game. They can go without it. As do I, until I have upgraded.
It just annoys those to have a visual disadvantage or worse FPS with GPU-based PhysX compared to NVIDIA users. And they don't even grant those NVIDIA users to play the game with their gpu's inheritent advantages? One that is one of the reasons why they chose their NVIDIA card over a cheaper AMD one. Like jealous little girls!

I actually do not even think of it as funny, the behavior portrayed by some (unmentioned) forum members inhere is downright shameful.


So you better damn give the game PhysX effects, great ones, give it all the more beauty, use the features at your disposal.

And those who have a card that does not support it, switch it off or go with worse FPS and shut up the whining about it. Seriously guys. You chose that Amd card for better performance/price.
Entitled much?

You don't hear me screaming how they need to build in Havoc support.

^This...

The 6850 is hands down best bang for your buck card right now. I even threw it into an Intel system (CPU's I was comparing were comparable, boards that supported SLI/XFire cost too much more than the one I got so that wasn't an issue, and the i5/i7's are a better upgrade option than AMD's bulldozers)

That said, I'm not "upset" that PS2 will support PhysX, so long as they give the best CPU PhysX support they can.

As I also mentioned, those extra gfx that GPU enabled PhysX users end up getting will likely actually hamper their ability to see rather than allow them to see enemies easier. It's easily worth it tho IMO to have realistic flapping flags, and explosions with more realistic dust particle debris.
