Nvidia GameWorks is a middleware software suite developed by Nvidia.[1] The Visual FX, PhysX, and Optix SDKs provide a wide range of enhancements pre-optimized for Nvidia GPUs.[2] GameWorks is partially open-source.[3]
The competing solution being in development by AMD is GPUOpen, which was announced to be free and open-source software under the MIT License.
Components
Nvidia Gameworks consists of several main components:
- VisualFX: For rendering effects such as smoke, fire, water, depth of field, soft shadows, HBAO+, TXAA, FaceWorks, and HairWorks.
- PhysX: For physics, destruction, particle and fluid simulations.
- OptiX: For baked lighting and general-purpose ray-tracing.
- Core SDK: For facilitating development on Nvidia hardware.
In addition, the suite contains sample code for DirectX and OpenGL developers, as well as tools for debugging, profiling, optimization, and Android development.
