BFG AGEIA PhysX PPU Card Review @ PC Perspective

They look at the PhysX card from a game play point of view, screenshots, videos as well as benchmarks in order to get the most well rounded opinion on the technology possible
The word “yet” is important here, as I think with a game engine like Unreal using the PhysX technology, there is a lot of potential for this technology to take off towards the end of 2006. Even though Havok, paired with NVIDIA and ATI, has started implementing GPU-based physics calculations, they have admitted that Havok is aiming only at particle effects for the near future. AGEIA seems to have set higher goals and intends to reach them in 2006. If they achieve that goal, then a BFG AGEIA PhysX card might find a comfortable place in your system.
