Terra - Just keeping ducking the answer
Yes I would say it is true that "NOTHING" uses the PPU-core right now.
Because I wouldn't count a shitty little program that comes with the PPU as anything, nice try though, I give you 1/2 credit.
When a "GAME" shows up that actually uses it then I would call that something.

Just a warning to all you guys, this is straying into lock territory, so you might wanna kinda slide back toward the topic.

You're a lucky bastard GNR.
But at the same time you could have been the BFG PPU RMA test subject, which could have given us some info in that light.
Anyone know if any game with say Havok Physics could use the PPU if a patch was added?

Not sure how that would have worked out, it would have been kinda like sending an engineering sample CPU back to intel because of a broken pin or something.
I know there is at least one game that is coming out that supposedly supports both, cant recall the name at the moment.

These guys come in here to share their rare experience with a new peice of hardware and you some of you guys are real jerkwads about it. Why the hell do you hang around here if you don't want to hear about new stuff and user experiences with it? Oh god forbid there are no games to play with it right now. HAVE YOU NO VISION? Its so sad to call yourself an enthusiast and act like that.

I have CoV and checked the files... there is a NxPhysics.dll in the folder, but looking at it with windows explorer doesn't give a version number. i also found
this press release that says that the PPU will be used with the mayhem missions, which will come out when I7 does... I7 should be hitting the test server in about a month, and in another month or 2, it should hit live...
There is a game out already that uses the PPU - I posted it earlier.
Linky - with benchmarks!
Back OT - I nearly burnt my PPU up too - and for almost the same reason as the OP!
Long story short - that little BFG sticker isn't stuck on very well you can extrapolate the rest...
Piccies to follow.

Stupid question, how the HELL did your fan burn (literally) if it didnt spin? Does the core get that really hot? If so, how can it burn the fan blades which arent even touching anything? And it kinda sucks since the card isnt even mainstream yet, no real widespread games released, and you already burnt it

A fan that doesn't move just builds up heat - go to your kitchen and clamp your magi-mixer's blade then turn it on... BOOM
Sidenote: this is also why people say you shouldn't physically stop a fan (or any device that uses an electronic motor) for more than a few seconds at a time...
@Phoderpants: Yep, Kwality with a K
They should start painting duct tape and using that instead - ghetto stickers!

I doubt the fan burning up had anything to do with the core being too hot or any other such nonsense. Ive had case fans burn up just the same for the same reason, and they werent near anything hot. The FAN also has a bling bling LED in it, which may have contributed to the burn-up. I havent had the chance to replace the HSF on there yet; I just stuck another PhysX card in there for now.
haha, he is not jealous... It really serves little to no purpose as of now, and it seems like it has some maturing to do. I thank these early users for finding the bugs/temps/OC, but I sure as hell would not pay to do that... I would need to be paid. Call that jealous and act like you know nothing; your problem, not ours.osalcido said:
