While last week we were reporting about the competition among physics engines between PhysX and Havok, NVidia announced the availability of a new driver which will bring support for PhysX on GeForce 8, 9 and GTX 2X0. Interestingly for Mac users, NVidia has been using its CUDA technology for porting the physics engine to its recent GPUs via a simple driver update.
If one considers that there is a beta version for OS X for CUDA, and that its Apple's name will be Open CL in Snow Leopard, we can expect such engine to be available for Mac in a near future. It remains however unclear if such support for our Mac will be also available as a firmware update of if one will have to wait for Snow Leopard and its dedicated graphics API set Open CL.
