It’s still too expensive a card for me to want one. Maybe when it gets below $200 I’ll grab one, thats also if UT2007 and future BF games make use of it (UT2007 already does).

I agree with Deus Mortus, Microsoft needs to create something like DX for physics or integrate it into DX11. I don’t want to have to use a GPU just for physics, esp if its an ultra high end GPU that isnt being fully used.

I really like the ATI way with physics, just slap an old GPU into the motherboard and it will just do physics.

Ageia isn’t screwed as long as Unreal Engine 3.0 supports Physx.

Me too.

Besides, they’ve got more supported games in the pipeline.
In the areas where physics become an issue we’ve seen impressive results with this card.

It’s way too premature to hack down this new technology as obsolete (and a bit fatalistic too).

You can’t blame them for not being compatible with games, the game developers need to make that decision, or perhaps microsoft with support with their directx.

I really beleive that this is a good concept and that it just needs time…
