This video goes through multiple physics demonstrations running on ATIΒs hardware. The first is a particle demo that starts with 124,000 particles on screen and goes all the way up to 900,000 as I drag the right tool bar up the side. The second demo shows a piece of cloth on a table that is blowing is varying angles and speeds of wind. The third demo looks at animations of character models that is not really indicative of physics performance but on the pixel shading power of the R580. Finally we have a Mandelbrot application running side by side on the GPU and CPU to see the difference in frame rates as these patterns are built dynamically.
