About a week ago, many of you probably heard that NVIDIA had acquired AGEIA, the industry leader in gaming physics technology. A common question I’ve seen floating around various hardware and gaming forums is how this will impact you, the PC gamer, going into the future.
The short answer is that it’s great news for gamers. By purchasing AGEIA, NVIDIA will be able to support AGEIA’s very popular PhysX technology on future GeForce GPUs. By doing so, the install base of PhysX enabled hardware will exponentially increase and game developers will now have a larger number of customers that can make use of the PhysX engine. This translates into more games with advanced physics technologies being developed and gamers ultimately benefiting through more realistic and captivating gaming experiences. Stay tuned to the SLI Zone Blog for future PhysX updates.

Hi
will a physx-p1 card work with 2x 8800gt in sli mode

I actually already own a Physx card & have been frustrated that none of my fav games are making use of it. I'm really glad to hear that Nvidia will be promoting & incororating it in the future. Now maybe my physx card will stop collecting dust & be useful after all. I just hope it's compatible with the newer games (fingers crossed).

It would be nice if they encorperated the physics processer in the GPUs sp we would be buying two things on one pcb.

I think (hope) with this move realistic physics will, in time, be just as common as 3d sound/EAX in games.

Make sure the games dont slow down when the sh..t hits the fan. I would be nice to not see parts of people sticking through the wall when they're up against the other side or have the jeep not slide down a slightly elevated hill (like in bf2) and fully destructible environments.

I hope Nvidia really makes it work or worth bying, When i was building my SLI system i considered purchasing a PhysX card, but i never puchase anything without doing research. At the time it wasn't worth getting, but now with Nvidia backing it. I will keep my eyes open and in a year research the card again, if i like what i read (reviews) then im off to the adult candy store, (thats what i call the local PC/hardware shop)
Thx

I think this was a great move, and I'm truly excited at the prospects. I think physics technology is compelling and I think nVidia can make it happen.
Excerpt from a recent blog post of mine:
"nVidia is already doing what Ageia has had years of trouble accomplishing. They have the history, contacts, money, partners, expertise, and personnel to sell this technology. That's what's important here in the immediate term, imo. They don't have to add one thing to Ageia and they can make a bunch of money."
