Alright so the red team has been advertising about their 4000 series cards being able to do physics processing for a while now and it's even confirmed here that it uses Havok API to do physics rendering. The question is do we need to install a special type of drivers like Nvidia does to enable physics processing? Can we assume that it is enabled by default?

So why is it that ATI is advertising that ATI 4000 series cards can take advantage of havok?

I've tried to look this up on google but I haven't found any articles talking about this issue.

Yes, it runs on cpu. There was Havok FX for gpu, but it was canceled.

Not sure why ATI advertise it as such.
