An actuall need for a physX card, omg.

Yeah really. What next? PhysXli? lol

I can just see it now.....

System requirements: Octo-core, 4 gig, 3 geforce 10 Ultra cards, and two PhysXli cards.
At that point, I'm finding a new hobby. lol

They're barking up the wrong tree with standalone cards... they need to get their chipset integrated into a video card to have a prayer long term - it's the only way they'll get enough market penetration to entice game makers to start writing code for their chipset.
