i thought that futuremark abandoned all physx scores include ageia cards

from what makers of those cards told us during editors day they didnt bother to go with any high frequency on core or memory at all so there should be tonnes of room to OC that Physx card if you are able to

Futuremark calls ANY results INVALID if done with ANY external physics. HWBOT will NOT ACCEPT results if they are NOT valid for vantage.
That means gpu physx AND ageia card. I learned the hard way with gpu physics. Sham learned the hard way with agea physics.
Still cool to watch though George

Hmmmm..........No AGEIA PhysicX card is accepted in Futuremark?.....

Then WHY there are resaults uploaded up there with AGEIA PhysicX cards?..........

[Gautam]

There are on the hall of fame?

[dinos22]

well my memory still serves me right in some cases at least heheh
i remember Shamino trying for some extra points with his ghetto mod to have the ageia card working but it was all for nothing

Nope. FUTUREMARK doesnt allow ANY physics now. If you use any sort of external physics enhancment, your result will be marked as invalid when you submit it. It wont show in the HOF, but you can still submit invalid result.
I have results with gpu physx drivers that show up in the search of both in-valid and valid results, but not in HOF.

Here is what HWBOT rules say:

"Rules for online submissions.Any online 3DMark Vantage - Performance submission must comply to the following rules:

use Performance settings
have a valid screenshot (or valid futuremark orb link): clearly show 3Dmark score, 3Dmark subtest scores, 3Dmark settings, processor in CPU-Z, videocard in GPU-Z, unless if you provide a futuremark orb link
gpu-z in screenshot, dropdown must be visible if you run in SLI so all videocards are identified. Rivatuner may be used if GPU-Z fails to identify videocard properly (as of 8 oct 2007)
have a valid futuremark orb link as verification for scores in the top 20"

I have agea card here, but I never used it for this reason. I have already wasted WAAAY to much LN2 and time benching scores that never counted for .
