AMD might have publicly declared its support for Havok?s gaming physics technology, but the company has been curiously quiet about GPU-accelerated physics since Intel bought Havok in 2007. Since then, AMD has revealed that it?s still working with Havok, but has only really talked about running Havok on AMD?s x86 CPUs. However, AMD has now revealed that it plans to demonstrate its own GPU-accelerated physics technology at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) next week.
AMD?s Catalyst product manager, Terry Makedon, revealed on his Twitter feed that AMD would reveal its ?ATI GPU Physics strategy,? and added that there may also be ?a demo being thrown down next week at GDC.? Makedon also said that "Havok is indeed our partner of choice," when asked about the talk. The 60-minute talk, called ?Having Your Cake and Eating it Too: Increasing Game Realism, Scale and Reach? will take place at GDC on 26 March.
