Le vice président de Havok insiste : les PPU de notre concurrent Ageia c'est de la crotte, mieux vaut miser sur une bonne carte 3D. Il explique ensuite les avantages à utiliser le GPU pour gérer les physiques d'un jeu :

[...] GPUs provide opportunistic cycles that can be applied to do even more, specifically physics effects that can simulate the more gritty, detailed physical phenomena that are missing from games today. And, using the GPU to process both graphics and physics effects can avoid data transfer issues for phenomena that do not put demands on the core game engine or main memory.

A mettre en relation avec l'annonce du nouveau produit de Havok :

Havok FX will utilize the native power of Shader Model 3 class graphics cards, like the NVIDIA GeForce 7800, to deliver physics effects that integrate seamlessly with Havok's industry-leading game-play physics technology found in Havok Complete
