Review: Tech Report
_________________
I'VE HAD THE CHANCE to spend a few days playing with a PhysX card from Ageia, and there is much to tell, though not much one can do with the hardware just yet. I did find some interesting ways to test the PhysX card, and the results may enlighten us about the prospects for physics acceleration in custom hardware. Read on to get my take on Ageia's new physics processing unit.

I thought they were going to lauch a 256mb version. The 128mb is from my point of view pretty useless, but maybe there isn't any extra FPS to gain with 128mb more.
