Benchmark software company Futuremark today announced that PhysX accelerator creator AGEIA has joined the 3DMark Benchmark Development Program.

"Futuremark is pleased to welcome AGEIA to the 3DMark BDP. AGEIA brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in hardware acceleration of real-time physics to the BDP, and their advances in the marketplace offer great promise to the PC gaming environment" said Oliver Baltuch, Futuremark's VP of Sales and Marketing, North America. "AGEIA is fully committed to the development of fair and objective benchmarks and understands that as a result; consumers will get better performing hardware and software, and a more exciting gaming experience."

"Using hardware to accelerate compute-intensive advanced physics is our core business. Increasing the performance of specialized physics algorithms, typically requiring tremendous amounts of mathematical and logical calculations with massive memory bandwidth is important to us and our partners," Manju Hegde, CEO of AGEIA. "AGEIA recognizes that our participation in the specification and development of Futuremark's 3DMark will help us deliver the best performing physics acceleration solutions in the PC industry."

Just a few months ago, we sat down with several AGEIA board partners to discuss the PhysX. Visit AGEIA’s site for more information about its PhysX hardware accelerators or check out Futuremark for its benchmarking software.
