By offloading software physics processing from the CPU and GPU, AGEIA’s PhysX Processor completes the triangle of game function, graphics and interactive real-time environments from physics computing, balancing the load of these processing tasks and enabling incredible realism in tomorrow's games.


Wow, ragdolls on a scale never before imagined. And gravity guns galore. It's hard to tell if hardware is chasing software or vice versa, but all I can see is that once again we're all expected to upgrade our PCs if we want to get the most out of the two or three games a year that actually take advantage of this shit.

Hopefully it will be ignore by the industry like so much non-SB-compatible sound card.
