Nvidia has just put the GeForce Power Pack online that includes the GeForce Release 177.83 WHQL which allows all GeForce 8 and 9 graphics cards with a minimum 256 MB dedicated memory to support PhysX acceleration via PhysXSystem Software v8.08.01. This is particularly good news for Bionic Commando, a new Capcom-GRIN game that is expected for the beginning of 2009 and will show off all the capacity of the Nvidia cards.
The pack also includes Unreal Tournament 3 PhysX Mod Pack , Warmonger (a free game), a sneak peek at Nurien's upcoming social networking service based on the Unreal Engine 3 as well as the new game Metal Knight Zero (with integrated tests for both) and new demos “The Great Kulu” (showcasing softbody physics in a real game play environment) and “Fluid” (a simulation of realistic fluid effects with a variety of liquids).
A trial version of the Badaboom video transcoder from Elemental Technologies, available for 30 days and also tapping CUDA and Folding@home, the protein folding client for banding computers together, can also be downloaded at the same address.
