The Physx - Page 2

interman · 09-13-2006, 11:18 AM

The early reviews that came up used games that really weren't optimized for the physx at all. City of Villains has been updated to take advantage of it, and I think you'll all be at least somewhat interested after reading this http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2828 considering that in a year or so quite a few more games will benefit as much as seen here, if not more.

Looking at Ageia's website it looks like there are some really good games coming out in the next 6 months that have hardware Ageia support. I am seriously tempted to buy one, but I think its wise to wait for the software to appear.

The current generation is a bit of a let down, lets all pray that the new unreal engine handles it much better.

Im gana get one sooner or later, but so far that CellFactor demo has worked great on my PC so i really see no need

where did you download that cellfactor demo?

You can download CellFactor:Combat Training here for free

You can also download it here for free, with no info required and probably faster speeds!

Yeah,maybe the download speed is more faster if you download from Gamershell

I rather wait for ATi and Nvids answer to that. I can't imagin paying 300 bucks for it if the grakas shader chips can do the same. well, we'll see if it's true but so far there s only one game making use of it so it has an effect in the game. no game so far has been worth 350 bucks...

300 bucks for a dedicated physx card or 300 bucks for a video card that gives you a 33% speed increase in games and dabbles in some physics...

... I would prefer the first one, but as I said before, I would wait until the next batch of games comes out.

the problem is also that the ppu card seems to work only decent on certain sys configs. If there will be one coming out with a decent support then I might think about it...so far the C2D does a fine job baby

i'm with Kami here
just wait tis not worth the price yet.
maybe in a year or two it will be but not yet.
and ati and nvidia may come up with a better solution.
regardless untill the list of games that take advantage of this tech. and the support and drivers get a lot better tis just not worth it.
