>x87
where is that even used outside of SuperPi?

i think a lot of the shilling was from greedy amd shareholders who wanted to pump up the stock. or some paid shills or very mentally ill fanboys

physx

If PhsyX isn't using some modern SIMD I'll bite my head off.

When physx was first put into games they let it run x87 so required game code could run, see borderlands and the loot dropping as an example, the small amounts used were pretty much inconsequential, but the moment you do something heavy like cloth or object collision with particles in the few hundred thousands range, the fact its on x87 along with being heavily single threaded shits everything up to the point you needed an nvidia gpu.

Back then it was thought that if physx was multithreaded and x86 based, it would be able to be run on the cpu alone without gpu acceleration and achieve playable framerates.

Not sure about modern physx, as the only games I can think of that used physx extensively was borderlands

The thing is PhysX is practically tailor made for vector SIMD like AVX, there should be no real reason not to leverage it.

Versus your venerable position of authority on excellence in mental health.

Tell us how many theories about consumer optimism you can come up with.

>>59371008
make it run like shit on anything that doesn't have nvidia hardware to accelerate it.

but again, I know nothing of the modern gameworks version.

Jewish machinations.

you're retarded if you were on /g/ during the ryzen launch and the weeks leading up to it and you didn't see any shilling and intellectual dishonesty

>>59371008
they open sourced the cpu-based version of physx so even if they programmed it poorly on purpose, since it's open source it should be possible to improve it at least with the help of the game developers

>>59371386
Did they? From my understanding they open sourced components of gameworks but black boxed major shit.

They only opened it up after witcher 3 and the tessellation bullshit that happened.
