This was why previous games w/ PhysX effects that required a PhysX card were all optional effects and were more for show than practical use - because no developer is stupid enough to shoot themselves in the foot by requiring people to upgrade/change video cards when the game runs fine otherwise.
Exactly.

Love 'em or hate 'em, what NV originally proposed when they bought Ageia had great promise - both NV and DAAMIT using the same API leading to 'the dream' i mentioned above.

Now with them taking different sides, we won't really see anything, just a continuation of what we've seen so far - optional extras that don't begin to tap the potential on offer.
