PPU prices plummet! You gotta check this out!

What are you smoking? Those are paperweights.

I don't get it.

Way to spam, though.

He's implying that PPU's are nothing more than paperweights. You know, useless.

No, he agreed with knupxfon. And I know it is a paperweight site: one from the name, two from the content.

Dude noone is buying them cause they drop frames and who wants that?

What type of connection does that use?

It's not just a paper weight, it's also a great underclocking tool for your pc.

No but a good freind did and got ripped off!

Link.Yes they do sell it.

I give up.

When I originally posted this topic I had no idea that there would be so much confusion. It's a joke, folks! PPU=Paperweight=Useless!

I'm with ya, buddy.

I'm fully aware it's a joke. I was going along with it.

No i mean like this PhysX sucks!

PPU's are the future. Sure, we may make fun of it now as one game that sucks currently supports it, but the reality is the many, many major engines are endorsing this as a powerful tool. UT2007 and Crysis are a few of many that may even require such a card. However, because drivers are currently buggy and slow, and also because the techology is early, no performance will be seen. I also fail to feel any sorrow for anybody who is stupid enough to buy a $300 FPS reducer, just as I fail to feel sorrow for anybody who buys an FX or EE cpu, the latest and greatest video card, 4 gigabytes of RAM or anything else that is new and expensive. Let's just remember that when dual cores came out (and now) no performance in a single threaded environment, and the same is true for x64 without enhancements.

How much are they on these site? It's blocked by Websense here.

I agree, not only are they new technology, but they are adding features to your computer that it may not be able to handle. Lets see here, i want added physics to my game, but expect my frame rates to increase? Its expensive right now, but so were the dual core procs when they came out. Quad SLI is a joke right now for anyone who bought it however, in the future i can see it helping a lot. Maybe not so much with 4 7900 gtx's but with 4 newer cards. Just give PhisX some time and maybe we will see a new trend with games. Hell, id love to see great game companys working with Ageia to make games with insane Physiscs. Anyway, no use in complaining about something that is new and obviously needs to mature. Like some of the people on this forum... and my neighbors.

Newegg-289.99 U.S.$

I dont think is hating the cards or the company, Its just that it was released way too early for its own good, a handful of games that support it isnt enough to make you buy a $300 PCI bottlekneck.

But I also agree that its too early to judge. But its also to early to release something that brings your comp to its knees where they would otherwise domiate.Maybe in the Dx10 generation.

At least this guy has the right attitude.

No most people on here are saying it sucks and won't give it a chance.

I swear some of the people on these boards would complain if a company promised a device that could teleport you to Jupiter but when the device came out it could "only" teleport you to Mars.

They sure aren't going to take their chances with what is out now, but they will in the future if PPU's become significant.
