If you're yet to be convinced by NVIDIA's GPGPU ambition, it probably isn't due to a lack of NVIDIA marketing - but rather, the sparse availability of PhysX-enabled games or hardware-accelerated applications.
Hoping to help show off some of its lauded CUDA action, the graphics giant has rolled out its third Graphics Plus Power Pack. The free download is equipped with the following five tailor-made tools and demos designed to showcase the benefit of CUDA acceleration on any GeForce 8, 9 or GTX-200 series graphics card:
- Star Tales – Benchmark Demo (New Social Networking Game featuring GPU accelerated Physics)
- Sacred 2: Fallen Angel - PhysX Game Patch (Note: Must have full version of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel)
- PhysX Screensaver (The full source code is now available from the The Game Creators)
- Motion DSP’s vReveal – Try-and-Buy Demo (Video enhancement software for Windows)
- SETI@home (Search for extra-terrestrial intelligence with GeForce!)
If you're packing a supported GPU and want to see what CUDA/PhysX can do for you, all of the above are available as free downloads from NVIDIA.com.
