Good: Price/Performance is worth it if you have a highend gaming PC, Incredible effects, Large number of games coming out with PhysX support, Great driver support, Support through OEMs is growing steadily, Well build card, Quiet fan, Dell offering PhysX in note...
Bad: Only two manufacturers for retail
Bottomline: The first question one needs to ask is simple: "Is the card worth it?". The simple response is "Yes". While you would have been hard pressed to say so a year ago, a lot has changed since then. The first thing you will notice is the price. It has droppe...
Bottomline: Difficult! I have very mixed feelings as I feel sorry for the ones who spent 300 bucks on this card as currently its just not worth it. Its not that the card cant bring another dimension of that gaming experience onto your screen, but the games sim...
Abstract: Thanks to a Toms Forumz member, we discovered that the Cell Factor demo runs either with or without the formerly "required" PhysX accelerator card. Our tests reveal astonishing performance differences.
Abstract: Besides color, shape and smell each object in this world has a dozen of physics characteristics such as weight, density, elasticity and others that affect their behavior when these objects interact with other objects or people. The rubber ball jumps of...
Bottomline: yet, but nothing Ive seen so far convinces me this chip offers the sort of major leap in physics performance that Ageia claims for it. I remain hopeful, though, and well be watching new PhysX-enabled games as they become available to see whether any...
Abstract: Ageia says its new physics processing device and engine will do nothing less than revolutionize PC gaming. We gauge just how well Ageias PPU (physics processing unit) can handle flying debris and shrapnel in Ghost Recon Advanced War Fighter - which yo...
Abstract: The Ageia PhysX PPU (Physics Processing Unit) is a new expansion chipset designed to give PC gamers a more realistic and immersive experience. The PPUs capacity for complex calculations means few limits to what developers can do in a physics-based gam...
Good: Impressive hardware specs, good future potential, long list of future supported titles
Bad: Takes up a PCI slot you may not have, extremely limited game support, unimpressive results in current games.
Bottomline: Buying one of these right now is gambling that its going to take off, and theres no reason to do that—just wait to see if it does, and make your purchase decision then....
Abstract: Without question, one of the hottest topics throughout the industry this year has been the advent of the discrete physics processor or "PPU" (Physics Processing Unit). Developed by a new startup company called Ageia, this new physics processor gives game...
Bottomline: At its current state, the BFG AGEIA PhysX PPU card is a mixed bag. On one hand, the card’s additions to Ghost Recon and the couple other titles that are in retail that support PhysX, are less than spectacular. The changes in realism and vis...
