This should be a nice value-add for all you 8800 cunts.

I think now that nVidia has bought Ageia we're going to start seeing a lot more games with PhysX support.

PhysX in graw made it look shit iirc. But it's free and now nvidia have it hopefully it might be quite good.

Just to clarify, this means that I have the option to sacrifice some of my graphics processing power so that crates and barrels can be blasted around in a more physxy way? If it doesn't affect the shininess too much and can be turned off again then this could be interesting, otherwise I'll probably stick with moar shineh.

Also, I can't type for shit today - I'd probably have more luck with my elbows than my fingers.

Try typing Jalalabad with your forehead.

Possibly.

it may just be an option use use a second 8x00 as an extremely powerful physics processor, or it could dedicate some shaders and such to processing physics, we'll only really know when they tell us.

That's pretty much what I'm thinking it is. I would like to see the benchmarks when they release teh codez.
