Okay, so PhysX is the new card out SPECIALLY for Physics in games.

Now, the problem is that the cards are
$300!!!!!

So people are pissed off.
Plus, it's only for CERTAIN games.


But 300 Green Backs?!
wow, bad desision.

Share your thoughts.

Yea, but then they release patches / updates to the card that will enable the card to run on more and more games as they become more and more dependant on physics calculations.

Not a bad price imo.

I remember reading somewhere about future advancements in CPUs that would make these PPUs obsolete.

This is one of those wait-and-see things, in a year they'll either be neccesary or useless.

I think $300 is a fine price for such a thing though. and I'm broke.

I agree with all of the above.
