Well damn. How about throwing us poor AMD users a bone and integrate TressFX as well?
No but TXAA and PhysX are.
It is HBAO with an extra layer of LMAO (Linear Mesh Ambient Occlusion) on top.
So it's LOL, Layer on Layer?
Exactly. Its nice to see Nvidia working hard to be ahead of the curve.

Really? I tried 4xMSAA on Assassin's Creed III, it was cleaner than TXAA.

It means more native MSAA support: Which is great.
I think NV should allow customizable post resolve for people who complain about blur though.
TXAA requires MSAA. So you should have that option also probably.

Need that TressFX. AMD better get on it.

Would be great if Geralt gets powers that allows him to turn into a giant furry puppy wolf.
Was I the only one who didn't like it that much in Tomb Raider? It did look cool flowing but it seemed so unnatural. Lara's hair would randomly speed up to 100mph for no apparent reason and I was wondering if some supernatural force was behind her hair...
It distracted me so much I turned it off. Not sure if the distraction was a good or bad thing.

This better be in someone's beard.
In presentation there is beside furr, hair tech. So yes characters will have hair physics.
Oh, what a lovely scaring pet!

Are these going to GPU accelerated or just standard fare but as part of the PhysX SDK?
Edit: Will the DP option in the Titan's have an bearing on TW3's 64bit HDR?

The jump is amazing. I bet it will be jaw dropping during the gameplay.
It's not like Nvidia invented moving fur... and considering consoles are all amd, I expect to see similar implementations on a game to game basis, which will translate to PC AMD too.
The wolf looks just insane. It really does look like real fur.

I know. I have a GTX680, and know it will run like dog shit if I turn PhysX on.
That is why you need two GPUs - one dedicated to PhysX.

I just hate proprietary stuff on PC, eliminates the benefits of the platform, but that's not the topic for that. It does look lovely for sure.

I'm not kidding you, I would update my graphics card for that wolf.

L'oreal wolf, because he's worth it.

It makes games look cinematic.

wonder how the physics model handles sword vs fur.
Nothing. Just another way to turn your game into an ugly smear fest and bring down the IQ.

With a couple of tweaks to the game and drivers, I believe yes. It's been done on Borderlands 2 for example.

I thought the wolf with the fancy effects looked worse. It didn't look real. I thought it had some kind of energy shield over its fur. I liked the way the fur moved but the overall effect was weird. I think it was the sheen from reflecting light that I was noticing.

That's a damn original opinion.
wh.......?
It looks almost photorealistic. Have you seen a dog with a nice coat before?
The only 'unreal' thing is that in the wild a wolf would probably have a dirtier and not so well groomed coat.
