They're showing performance boosts on games that don't even use PhysX!!
Deadspace and Kane&Linch use Havok.

Please, let's not give any more importance to these guys..

I concur, that article is complete total BS. Someone just made those numbers up. There is no way accelerating PhysX on a game that doesn't support PhysX at all could have any impact. PhysX is a wholly separate API and it can't magically influence any physics calculations, only those that are aimed squarely at it.

Huh? I thought Dead Space does not use PhysX??????????????

Also, Mass Effect has a PhysX option in the .ini file, but apparently the developers decided not to include PhysX at all. I tried enabling it in the .ini file, but didn't see any changes in graphics or performance.

Plus, the new Ghostbusters game completely destroys all of the PhysX games when it comes to Havok physics usage on all 4 cores of a quad! I just beat the game and it's awesome. Liked it better than Bioshock because it's not some mindless FPS shooter. It's packed with witty humor.
