does neone know what this is http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpag...l?bfg-physx&P=0 and if it improves graphic performance, and if it will make games look better ?

It seems like it renders game physics better....or something like that.

ye but like wow 350$ CAD for better physics, like cmon it has to do somthing else , when evol is online he might give me a big explanation on what it is

Yeah, it's a pretty gay card...with only 128MB of video memory....A 6600 GT probably out-performs this in terms of most everything.

it might not be a videocard, it might be an addition so like u have a 7600GT + This, and it performs better or something

Eureka! I think that may actually be it...I heard that this card will work WONDERS on UT2007...

when GeForce 8 comes out i might buy the 8xxx and this just to see how it performs

this is not a video card. is a totally new processor design, which will offload physics from the cpu/video card. Those cards are not designed for physics calculations, and so physics engines have always been limited. with a new co processor devoted to physics, fully destructable environments are possible, and with the free CPU power, better AI. Of course, it is useless unless games support it, and if support grows, I plan on picking one up. for now, I will wait.

I imagine there will be support for it down the line, however. Dell is already putting ageia cards in their new top-line systems, which means they have sufficient reason to believe this is an important technology. I am inclined to agree.

Did anybody but me and IA read the actual page?

[otaku_4_life]

Holy Christ....I need that!

[IA-HonersStodnt]

Heh, I didnt read it

I had already read up on this from an article I saw previously in popular science

I know what it does too, I saw immediately it wasn't a video card when I saw no ports on the back, plus, BFG isn't a video card designer.

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter is going to support it, so I'm saving up already.

BFG designs several of the shittier model nvidia cards

I dont really like BFG... id wait for the asus ageia cards before buying one.

BFG is actually a pretty good make, IMO. I have a 6800GS (BFG) running in my other computer, and it's doing the job great. I can OC it high, and it's stable.

YOO NO WAY I HAVE GHOST RECON WARFIGHTER WELL IM GOING TO HAVE IT I BOIGHT AN XFX VIDEO CARD

[Bus Driver]

It makes things like expolsions and blood gushing out of people more realistic. They have some side by side vids of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter running w/ and w/o it on there site. I think GR is the only game that uses it now but games like Unreal 2007 will use it and they have some other really cool vids on there site too. I can't remmember the site now I think someone posted in general gaming awhile back or just google it.

[otaku_4_life]

I'll be getting a job this summer, so I'll probably be able to buy it then. W00T!

Just because dell puts it in their PCs doesn't mean it is worth it. They did put quad sli in their systems...
