PhysX Question

Generally, it's not worth it.

First, I think it's much cheaper to buy two 8800GTX in SLI rather than two 8800GTS then a Phsyx card. I think.... =P

Second, not all games support the card.

Third, since NVidia announced that they're planning to integrate Physx on NVidia cards, probably the card will be obsolete.

From what I've read on the web..

Nvidia bought Ageia, and now their trying to port the PhysX engine into their CUDA driver which is supported on the Nvidia GeForce 8 cards. When it's done then it will be provided as a free driver update.

PhysX cards are like the fingerprint readers of laptops, they only sound nice when it comes with the bundle, but pretty much useless with most people. If you do have money to waste, then a PhysX card is one thing to waste on, though a Fatal1ty Sound Card would be a better thing to waste money on (though it's still a waste).

And yeah, there aren't a lot of games that support them anyway.
