Ageia har lavet et dedikeret PPU-kort til afvikling af fysik i spil. nVidia og ATI vil køre fysik-beregninger over deres GPU i SLI og Crossfire-løsninger. ATI har tidligere været ude og hentyde at deres X1X00 kan lave fysikberegninger, nu har nVidia så sagt at de vil lancere software til deres kort med SM3.0 inden for den nærmeste fremtid. Og sidste men ikke mindst så lader det til at der endelig er kommet lidt fut under Ageia's Phys-X PPU-kort.
We've been reporting over a year now that this day was coming - the day that a new era of PC gaming would be ushered in by industry pioneer, Ageia. Today marks the first time we see announced games and the day hardware is released - albeit through OEM's at the moment - retail is coming soon. Today marks an important milestone for Ageia; not only because of new games announced but also because it embarks the first time customers will be able to get their hands on products. *Update*: PCper har friske billeder & video fra GDC 2006. Her showcases nVidia og ATI's fysik-løsninger.
