ppl are already willing to pay 1000 bucks for FX series cpus but the physX cards look pretty neat IMHOJanus67 wrote:
if it does take off then maybe. but as of right now I don't see any reason to spend $300 to see more particles fly into the air.

I believe it uses PCI

well as for the particles... the car explosion effects are more realistic and theres little chunks of debris, and thats just about it

yes well... physX is just sumthing not taken advantage of yet, but we will see in the futuremax wrote:

take a look at the ss here

I think it more likely that the developments going into using GPUs as hardware physics processes will simply be more of a stop-gap than anything else - they and the physics middleware developers have got to do something in response to aegia - but I highly doubt we'll see the ability to use redundant graphics cards as physics processors - they'd much rather sell you yet another piece of hardware.TheEternalPessimist wrote:
aegia physx? no physics accellerators yes... they'll b built on your graphics cards within a year, nvidia and i think maybe ati are working on ways to use your redundant graphics cards function as physics accellerators too so when you do buy a newer card ur not left with a peice of tat lying around your home, you can actually just move it to another slot and put it to some use
*apollogies if sum1 said this alreay im too tired from work to read all the posts*
Yeah but how could that be implemented in a game like BF2? There are already glitches with an indestructable environmennt, imagine how many they'd be if you could destroy everything? Gameplay would suffer because someone would find a certain piece of wall that if you hit it with a certain weapon it would break and cause some kind of glitch. They's have to test the destruction of every element in the game and I can't see EA/Dice doing that...Scorpion0x17 wrote:
Rather just a few players, vehicles, objects and the odd bit of breakble scenery having physics properties, everything will - you will be able to have truly destructive scenery for example.

Well if you just take GHOST RECON ADVANCED WARFIGHTER as an example. Comparing the game with and without a AGEIA PHYSX card. I mean me personally I'm still going to wait. In GRAW it didn't really made that much of a difference, just a couple of more particles during explosions, that's it. All the other things in the environment still bursted apart, like a flower pot i.e.! To make me buy an PHYSX card, the game must make a very very big difference with such a card.
