Physics in next gen gaming

[Waelan]

It works with the graphics cards but it is a stand alone completely new type of PC part. It gets its own memory and hooks into your system just like a GPU. There is only one kind of PPU now they are trying to get enough interest to make it a permanent addition. In starship troopers it wouldnt really make more characters. It would run the character animations and other things while the GPU draws in everything visually so in a sense its like taking the stress off the rest of the system allowing them to do much much more.

The PhysX is set to launch in the next several months for 250-300 dollars and can be added into most any PC.
