Nvidia announces more game support for PhysX


A little over a year ago, PC graphics chip maker Nvidia announced it was buying Ageia, a company that was selling a hardware chip add-on for PCs and software tools specifically for improving game physics effects. Since then, Nvidia has incorporated Ageia's technology, known as PhysX, into its driver updates for the GeForce graphics chips. Today Nvidia announced that four upcoming games will incorporate PhysX support. In addition, Nvidia also announced that game publisher Sega has licensed the PhysX tech for all of its worldwide studios.

The four new PhysX enabled PC games are Terminator Salvation from developer GRIN, Dark Void from developer Airtight Games and publisher Capcom, Darkest of Days from developer 8monkey Labs and U-Wars from developer Biart Studios. Stay tuned as Big Download will have a feature article later this morning that will have more info on how these games will use PhysX.
