ok, downloaded it... went through it... my impressions
Crazy machines 2: It is actually the crazy machines 2 demo... and it crashes every time it starts, the video card does NOT crash, the system is rock solid, the game itself crashes.
Kenneth's demos. Unimpressive. Water flowing through a pipe and a cube with stuff. Its really underwhelming.
Nvidia physX screensaver: now that suprised me. It is by far the awesomest physX demo ever, its awesome. I wouldn't use it for a screen saver of course, but i played with it for a quarter of an hour.
This is great at showing the potential of physX... although, it is severely limited by ram right now (a lot of times objects will disappear on screen due to vram running out.. on my GTX 260 which has... was it 864MB? some weird number. made me imagine the fun of a potentially physX accelerated http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katamari_Damacy
In a construction zone!
All those demos are showing some real issues with physX, if I rotated the basic fluids demo, at a certain angle the water would just vanish halfway through the tube.
There are far too many "materials" available for use.
Cloth clips over itself horribly, and metal sheets don't work right at all, i mean, it looks behaves and reacts to impacts completely and utterly wrong. (such as, the ball going on top, and it getting "punched" in after it passed, and looking completely wrong).
That being said. It obviously has a lot of potential. It was really awesome seeing the ball plaugh through a huge pile of bricks or wood and seeing them flying into other object / silk clothe and tear through them
