Ageia Physx, first impressions.

[Charles Wirth]

Test system Conroe @ 2.66Ghz 333FSB 4MB dual core
PCMark 2005 w/ Physx test 240FPS with Ageia installed
Big Bang 9FPS

Test system Conroe @ 2.13Ghz 266FSB
PCMark 2005 w/ Physx 225FPS
Big Bang 4FPS

Test system Conrow @ 2.66Ghz 333FSB
No Physx installed 270FPS
Big bang 14FPS

Current #1 PCMark2005 is at 217FPS with quad cores
Current #2 PcMark2005 is a 4.9Ghz Presler with 240FPS

I will test on Presler to see scaling on platform. Waiting for feedback from Ageia as well.

Not impressed so far, an AMD FX with single threading would be able to get a boost from this card now. Next generation Intel core technology takes a performance hit. Sub 5Ghz Preslers would also see a small increase in performance in a handful of games.
