Havok 4.0 for future PC games. Ageia is already outdated.

Best things do belong to the PC.

Instructions:
1) Ignore the title listing PS3, because we all know the PS3 is only capable utlizing physics with Ageia hardware.
2) If you plan on buying the Ageia Physics Hardware, stop! You donot need it.

Guys watch that video from 12:00 and to the end. Be prepared to be awed.Wasdie

Well so long to the useless Ageia PPU card, just get an SLI rig and who knows, maybe it will utilize the sli config and use one card to process Physics.Alpha_Omega69

Ageia physics software for PS3 and 360 is middleware just like Havok is.  It's on PC where there is a physics card involved.

Havok has so far proven to be the best, and I'm not impressed by Ageia, except maybe the extra fluid (air and liquid) effects.  But I'm sure Havok 4.0 will blow Ageia away across all fronts.

Ageia has the potential to boost the system performance somewhat, they just don't. The card is potentially a little bit of relief on your cpu, but the problem is, physics processing requires so little processing power anyways that it's not a big enough performance boost to pay $300 for.

It's like if I could get a 4GHz cpu for $400 or get a 4.1GHz for $700.  I would go with the 4GHz.

Well high level physics like allowed with the Ageia PPU would bog down the CPU, but it's still not worth $300.

Who needs a PPU when multi-core CPUs are becoming standard equipment? Dedicate one core to physics. Problem solved.CodeMunki

..and how do you go about doing that, monkeyboy?  PhysX cards are around $150 bucks nowadays, it's not really a huge expense, besides you can have dual SLi WITH a PhysX card since the Ageia card only needs a PCI slot NOT a PCIe!!! ever thought of that?!
