For all other cards that are not CUDA-compliant (GeForce 5/6 or Radeon for example) the PhysX engine runs in software mode. The graphics drivers for GeForce install the latest version of CUDA and PhysX runtimes. This engine is hardware accelerated (via CUDA) for all GeForce 8/9/GT200 with the latest graphics drivers. The main startup GUI (graphical user interface) is:įluidMark’s fluid simulation is based on NVIDIA PhysX engine. To ease your geek life, I added a file called Start-No-SPH.bat… In that case, the fluid is seen as a set of independent particles. I added a command line parameter to disable SPH method. The fluid simulation used the SPH or Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method where interparticle forces are considered (SPH requires more CPU or GPU horsepower!). In stability test mode, you can switch between textured particle and simple point particle by hit the R key.įluidMark is a fluid simulation benchmark based on NVIDIA PhysX engine. FluidMark 1.1.0 has been compiled with the latest PhysX SDK (v2.8.1 – by the way, seems NVIDIA has a slow update rate for their PhysX SDK 😉 ). I took FurMark‘s code base and merged it with FluidMark’s own routines.

Remark: This version of FluidMark requires the installation of VS2005 2005 SP1 Redistributable package. About one year ago, the version 1.0.0 of FluidMark was released.
