Difference between current PhysX particles and GPU particles in Unreal 4

[mslanchik]

Hi everyone,

This may be sort of a stupid question, but I'm curious about the difference between the PhysX particles currently in UE 3 and the GPU particles I keep reading about in UE 4. While researching this supposedly new feature of UE 4, I found out more about the PhysX ones, which seem similar? Can someone describe to me the differences?

They are similar, but UE4 will not use PhysX GPU particles as consoles do not use Nvidia GPUs.
