More PhysX (22 Comments) (link)
 Thursday, 23-March-2006  15:27:22 (GMT +10) - by Agg

After about 2 years of press-release hints, AGEIA have.. some more. At the current Games Developer Conference, AGEIA and a bunch of developers announced support for PhysX in their games. FiringSquad have a report on the press conference.

There's some demo videos on AGEIA's website.. the middle one is probably the most impressive. BTW, I like how the one with blood requires a warning, but the one showing people being incinerated doesn't. :)

Finally, a few hardware vendors announced support, most notably Dell, who are offering a $10,000 USD PC with 4.26GHz CPU, quad SLI and a PhysX card, for truly insane graphics power.

AGEIA PhysX Accelerator add-in boards from leading board manufacturers ASUS and BFG will be available in wide distribution in May of this year. Well, I can't wait until we've actually seen one.. or non-press-release photos of one.. or a review of one.. or anything other than press releases telling us how great it's going to be. :) I hope this rush of press info isn't just a reaction to NVIDIA's unveiling of their competing technology.
