After spending £400 on a CPU and £400 on a Graphics card, we now have this thing called a "PPU" (Physics Processing Unit) to spend money on.
I think its getting a bit daft with all the money we have to shell out on hardware, the last thing we need is more cards to buy.
Looks like we'll have:
Graphics Card
Ray-Tracing Card (Will be coming to the home PC eventually)
Physics Card
Its all a big chunk of change to be throwing into a big square box (or little square box for those BareBones ppl here)
I can picture it now... "I got 34,618 in PhysMark06!" or "I got my Physics core to 800Mhz with stock cooling!"
So whats everyones take on this card for processing all the physics in your games? the upside is games will look alot more realistic, but do you really want another piece of hardware to worry about? Personally i'd rather see improvements to "AI" instead of things like physics, games look superb at the moment (HL2 for example) i'd be satisfied with HL2 quality for a couple years, while they work on improving "AI"
