Cheaper PhysX Card + New "Physics" Games

TheRealMatrix · 12-14-2007, 05:31 PM

Anyone been following the PhysX card market recently? I've been looking into it and the prices have really dropped from what they used to be a few years back. You can get a card now for as cheap as $99.99 on Newegg after a rebate. A few new games have also come out as of late where you can put the card to work. New game called Warmonger is out which is pretty cool. Completely destructible environments so the gameplay environment is constantly changing. Also a mod pack for Unreal Tournament 3 was released that has some awesome physics affects in it like a Tornado that rips apart the entire map. Granted you can play these games without a physX card...you won't nearly get the same experience. With PhysX cards so cheap now though, it's definitely worth the try.

You ever get around to playing the Warmonger demo? If so, what'd you think?

Well, I think I wait until more games support it. Additionally, I currently don't have a system worth the purchase. But it is a great development
