How do you feel about NVIDIA Gameworks?

That’s why you need to make sure you have an alternative if those features need to be turned off. Like the hair in The Witcher 3.

Though I would imagine it’s kind of a pain to do the work to integrate features like that only to have to do it in another completely different way for systems that can’t handle the feature.

But Flex used on physics based games wouldn’t work it seems. Flex can do things the normal PhysX can’t do. Flex unifies all physics features under one hood so that they can work together. So a physics based puzzle game, or another game type that makes heavier use of Flex, couldn’t get an alternative implementation whatsoever. There isn’t even such an advanced other API to my knowledge as far as I know.

How depended is GameWorks on Nvidia hardware in the first place?

Does somebody use GameWorks for UE4 from the private Github? The most interesting modules are FlameWorks, VXGI, and Flex. Though it seems they are still in beta, but I’m talking about the non UE4 version on Nvidia’s website.
