PhysX and CUDA won’t be around for long reckons AMD

I tend to agree. The only time PhysX is even used in games is only when Nvidia pay the developers quite a bit of money to get them to put it in their games. Otherwise it's just too much of a hassle to add features that less than half your PC market will even have access to.

However, I am more excited about C++ AMP (Accelerated Massive Parallelism) , which is based on DirectX's DirectCompute, than I am about OpenCL.
 
After Nvidia's abortion of a driver for the GTX range I'm reluctant to buy from them again. The driver crippled my PC and I reformatted twice thinking it was my OS, only to discover it was the gfx driver screwing up. Rolled back to an earlier version and haven't had an issue since.

Seriously, not cool okes.

I really don't see the issue. About a year ago I was with ATI and numerous gfx drivers had major problems. Before that I was with Nvidia as I am now, and they also make big mistakes sometimes. Unfortunately it is going to happen that sometimes a gfx driver is released with a major problem that nobody in development picked up on. This is just what happens on the odd occasion. I'm not going to switch from Nvidia to ATI (or if it was the reverse from ATI to Nvidia) just because someone made one mistake that could be fixed with the next driver.
