Hey Guys, right atm I am thinking of buying A8 because of PhysX for Gravix (too many x's ). This might be a stupid question but is it worth it? Is PhysX really so much better than ODE? Because the money is here and maybe I just want to have ONE post that says "Yes, omg sooo amazing, ode fuck off, physx ftw" and than I will buy it. Anybody can tell me about it? Because 100 bucks are also not little money for an student

I purchased A7 just before A8 came out so I got a free upgrade. I converted my simple ODE physics game to PhysX and distributed it to some testers. I believe 2/5 couldn't get the game to start. 2/5 had completely messed up physics where their player was "bucking" instead of driving. 1/5 who had an Nvidia card and was programming PhysX into his own game on a different engine, couldn't run it out of the box, and when he fixed it, it still had the bucking problem if I recall.
I haven't really tried to figure out why this all happened but if 5 people I test with can not play it easily, I give up. ODE physics is currently working fine for them.

all the pc's that use a game with PhysX should have installed the PhysX drivers, maybe that was the reason

But if you need to install at first physx drivers I have to ditribute them also.
Did anybody also had those troubles with PhysX?
