[FarFarAway]

Well its just a rumour I've heard but it seems BFG may well be making Ageia Physics Processing Units....um....w00t!! :yumyum:

Look here Dave Dedicateed physics processing units :yumyum:

If I pick one of these up, that means I won't have to upgrade my compy for a LONG time. The CPU will be dedicated to everything else in teh game thus increasing my FPS, etc etc.

IF games get coded for the thing.

I do agree that it would be a majorly sweet bit of equiptment IF games get coded for it

 

[NickS]

Yep .

I hope it comes in PCI flavour tho .

Will be a pity if it's only PCI-E 1x, or 4x.

Yes, this is fucking pwn 1337... C'mon BFG! Give us a release date, price tag, and tell us that every game developer in the world will support ur technology and u have my business for life

"We are all aware of AGEIA and its desire to bring a PhysX processor for physics processing in order to make games look and feel more realistic. We all want the characters to move and act realistically, and that's exactly what AGEIA's PhysX will accomplish once it debuts. However, in order for the technology to work, it requires an expansion card for the motherboard. ASUS will debut the card in February 2006 when more games become available to take advantage of AGEIA's innovation."
