Cebit 08: But GeForce takes the role


The physics card as a hardware device will die. Nvidia spokespersons were very precise about that as they said that the current PhysX cards will be the first and the last of their kind.

Nvidia will implement PhysX instructions into CUDA and the GeForce GPU should take over the physics hardware role.

If you have a PhysX card, you can definitely be sure that that it will be the last one to launch. Ageia becomes just another brand that Nvidia swallowed, and the list includes 3DFX, ULI, Mental Ray, Aureal and some other big names.

Guess who

If Nvidia didn't buy Ageia, that company would have died alone anyway (or at the very least in the PC segment), or is that not obvious?

No they wouldn't have done. Their API is used in loads of games in consoles and still quite a number of pc games.

In a small number of games they add some interesting effects and in a few cases, extra fps.

Not enough to warrant the cost involved.
