With the update earlier today a number of NVIDIA GameWorks features have arrived in the latest version of Warface. Thanks to GameWorks, Warface now uses sprite and mesh based effects with motion derived from either a turbulence simulated grid or static velocity field.
NVIDIA Turbulence and PhysX Particles bring the gameplay in Warface to a higher plane of realism: All particles have real-time collision – meaning their movement is affected by the game’s triangle mesh terrain, and the shapes of characters and vehicles.
The turbulence grid simulations take a player’s motion into account and can cause high pressure in front and low pressure behind characters as they move through the smoke effects. Players can choose from two in-game options to see the GameWorks effects in action, with "PhysX Normal" including particle mesh debris such as dirt, rocks and sparks, while "PhysX High" adds turbulence using sprite based smoke particles into the mix.
The combination of both PhysX Particles and NVIDIA Turbulence can be seen in the following effects:
The back blast of a self-propelled AA missile launcher creates a high-velocity smoke effect that collides with objects in the environment and curls up and away as it dissipates.
A helicopter dust effect creates a visible downdraft that can collide with characters and other objects in the environment. This powerful force can affect weapon debris and other smoke effects in the vicinity.
The grenade explosion effect adds mesh debris and a lingering ambient smoke effect that other explosions, helicopters and characters can interact with.

You can enable the effects in the game settings. We recommend enabling NVIDIA Gameworks in Warface on all NVIDIA graphics cards from GeForce GTX465 upwards. A GeForce GTX 760 or better is recommended to enable PhysX High settings. We also recommend to have the latest graphics drivers installed.
