|  | | PhysX FluidMark 1.0.0 |
PhysX FluidMark is a physics benchmark developed by oZone3D based on NVIDIA PhysX engine. This benchmark performs a fluid simulation by imitating the renderering of lava. Real physics parameters such as viscosity are used. SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) algorithm is enabled to increase the realism of the simulation.
PhysX FluidMark can run in pure software mode (all calculations are done on the CPU), or in hardware mode. Hardware mode includes 2 kinds of hardware:
* Ageia PhysX PPU
* GeForce PhysX - GeForce 8/9/GTX200 graphics cards only
This benchmark exploits OpenGL for graphic acceleration and requires an OpenGL 2.0 compliant graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 5/6/7/8/9/GTX200 (and higher), AMD/ATI Radeon 9600+, 1k/2k/3k/4k (and higher) or a S3 Graphics Chrome 400 series with the latest graphics drivers.
PhysX FluidMark requires the PhysX driver 8.08.01 or higher to be installed.

Only gave me an error stateing no Phsx hardware installed. | | | | it's nothing special any way | | | | yea just another utterly useless benchmark, even more useless then 3dmark | | | | In software mode, it only loads my quad-core to 25%.
True that it only loads up to 30% in hardware, but I'm afraid that any sort of CPU vs GPU comparison is broken when it doesn't make full use of the CPU.
Fail. | | | | I would describe this application as a "bunch of useless ball-bags".
N.B its more of a demo than any kind of benchmark, maybe a benchmark to see if you can even run PhysX in the first place?....  | | | | For people you can't red............"NEED PHYSX DRIVER 8.08.01 OR HIGHER !"
so nvidia isn't so nice to give the link for that piece of crap, but dr.google found it: http://www.geeks3d.com/?p=805

Hmmm i think You can get it from power pack with the v177.83 driver too
But yes its stupid that they main page still points to the older driver . |

| Quote | | | | | I've tried to run this with my Ageia PPU card and my Ati graphics card...I've installed the latest physx driver 8.08.01 but running the physx fluid mark it gives me an error message "no cuda dll found".
Hope I'm not going to get the same problem with new games that are going to use physx as I got the PPU card specifically so I could use physx in my ATi system which obviously isn't going to have a cuda dll file |
