You mean other then a waste of money?



I was going to post the exact samething!

It's more then likely that with advent of DX10 video cards and quad core CPU's phyics calcualtions will either be delt with by the CPU or delt with via your graphics cards. Either way it's bad news for companies that have developed stand alone phyics cards.

A physics card was an experiment that was too far ahead of the technology curve of its time to have any usefull purpose... The same features have been incorporated into the latest generations of GPU's, making it now practically redundant.

This is not to say that in the future it won't prove important, but at present it is just a waste of cash for most users.

But that dosent mean that Youtube isnt full of idiots showing off their 'PhysX rigs', or that they and their friends will debate u over how usefull the PhysX card is saying stuff like "my's games runs faster with the physx card(s)" and the ever popular "when the gpu first came out ppl thought it was useless aswell".
I wish they were dead, much like Christians.

I own one, and at the moment it's basically useless aside from Cell Factor, which should NOT warrant the purchase of this card. Maybe when UT3 comes out it'll be worthwhile as Epic has said many times they plan on supporting the card, but you should really wait until the game is available to make the decision.

Calling him a "f**king stanistic f**king jew" leads me to doubt that you have any right to judge when you yourself have just insulted an entire religion in much the same way he did. You are just as bad.

The forums, believe it or not, ARENT about flaming people. Don't get on my back because someone else took things too far. This is about a PHYSICS CARD, not about bashing religion(s). So yes, I will report anybody who doesn't abide by the forum rules, I'm sick of people who do nothing but flame and instigate personal attacks on other forum members. Anybody disagree with me on this?
