Not now, anyway.
Wait till more games implement the technology before forking out for a piece of thusfar redundant piece of hardware.

*shrugs* like I coul afford one, I'd drink the money before I got the the checkpoint.

basically good for single core machines and singleplayer games, otherwise the processor can handle it well enough.

all the physics card content would have to be locally generated and not networked (as physics info eats *shitloads* of bandwidth)

in short, useless for 5punkers.

Apparently this is a list of games that currently uses PhysX: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ga ... sing_PhysX

The new DX10 cards using the unified shader stuffs are better able to calcuate more interesting things like fisicks while still doing normal graphics chugging.

so... no.
