PhysX - Ahead of its time and with game support just...Strengths: Adds extra effects in games like GRAW2, Cellfactor, Warmonger and UT3, versatile software development kit, great future potential, price has come down to about $120 online Weakness: More games that use the tech are needed, will be better utilized in coming months, difficult (for developers) to "add-on" to an existing game engine, no PCI Express version (Jan 6th, 2008) The Ageia PhysX solution is a add-on PCI card that is solely dedicated to calculating physics within computer games. It is your standard PCI board with a slightly loud 40mm fan (note to Ageia, add a silent heatsink and PCI Express interface on the next go around) and is about the size of a Creative Audigy soundcard. It costs about $75 -150 (US) and is now available at major...

Waiting for 2007 to see PhysX make a difference.Strengths: Latest price drop ($160), powerful physics, new game play options Weakness: Limited support, power consumption, still waiting for promised titles. It's a little bit like the chicken vs. egg discussion. With currently only one game supporting PhysX to generate a little bit better graphics (by rendering more particles etc. behave physically correct), Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter as the only one (other than a few other patches) was also not a good reason to put down $300. The end of 2006 appears to not change this by much and we're waiting...

Ageia PhysX Physics Card (128MB, PCI).Strengths: Noticeable increase system performance and special effects form the instant that I put it in. Weakness: None so far other than limited amount of titles that use this technology. After my rebate I ended up paying under $100 from CompUsa.com. I had to upgrade my power supply because the Dell PC I had FALSELY stated that the power supply I have had a connector to power the accelerator. After hardware upgrade, supported games look terrific. I notice things that were "not there before." I would prefer that the PCI express slot could have been utilized instaed of my last PCI...

Ageia PhysXStrengths: Increased system performance & special effects. Weakness: No PCI-E version & lack supported games to date. After my rebates I ended up paying under $100.00 which was a plus for me. I would have rather had a PCI-E version as I only have 2 PCI slots on my computer. Ageia had intended to make one in this flavor but has subsequently dropped the ball on this project. Their original design that was sent out for reviews and testing actually incorporated both slot configurations on the same card. Maybe over...

Does its thing -- but it's not a thing that's oftern...
Strengths: Really makes a noticable impact for certian applications, even on a very high-end system.
Weakness: There are times it seems to not help at all; PCI interface; included game is lousy.
I bought this card when BFG was doing a holdiay rebate promotion and I had a coupon for the retailer that I didn't have much use for, and combined that made my purchase price for the card around $60. At that price, I figured I'd but it (if nothing else than for UT3). At that price, I'm happy with it -- but I don't think I'd have been happy at any higher price. The technology still isn't used by...
