Nvidia’s fledgling PhysX engine received a major dose of support this week with two major game studios picking up the technology for use in future titles. Electronic Arts and 2K Games both revealed on Monday that they had licensed PhysX technology for their games studios.
The PhysX engine, which Nvidia purchased from Ageia back in February, allows for advanced in-game physics like destructible terrain, deformable materials, and more realistic water. The technology harnesses the processing power of Nvidia GPUs to handle the extra load of calculating the effects.
