Som mange nok ved har Ageia haft en hård start med deres fysikkort. City of Villans har haft en beta ude der understøttede FPU'en og nu er patchen altså gået live. Patchen indeholder dog også en anden ting som egentlig er lidt et slag i ansigt på Ageia, dual-core support hvor 2. kerne står for fysik.
Testen er, som nogle nok ved, meget CPU begrænset, derfor burde man jo netop kunne se forskel på singlecore, dual-core og de to muligheder med ageia physics. Så de bliver selvfølgelig testet.
"
While we still think that on paper, the AGEIA's PhysX technology has promise, we find ourselves in a situation similar to where we were a few months ago with Ghost Recon and the City of Villains beta. On the positive side, AGEIA and Cryptic have fixed many of our earlier complaints about using PhysX hardware acceleration under City of Villains. The game no longer stutters, and installing a PhysX card doesn't immediately result in a drop in performance (though this has much to do with the new way of adjusting physics settings and other optimizations Cryptic has made in how the game handles large quantities of debris)."
