[QUOTE="usefulidiot316"]Come on, guys. Vader has no limbs, can barely breathe, and got his ass kicked by a 100 year old emperor. The Lich King is lvl 83, has 13 million health(and all of his limbs) and has an army of death knights. And Death Knights beat the imperial army any day. What good are lasers when what your shooting at uses death grip on you?DanielDust
Is it me or you are forgetting one thing? Darth Vader is not about lasers it's about the force, sure there are lightsabers but it isn't about that and in case you haven't noticed Darth Vader can also imitate that uber death grip of yours ;) ever heard of mind control, or the so called force influence? + it's not about the army they have but since you put it like that Vader shouldn't be included with weaklings that he uses kinda like slaves but with the sith army.

Well, you have to remember that mind control is useless against the insignia of the scourge. I guess it really comes down which is more powerful, the force or magic.

well actually I haven't bought it yet. My friend had a problem with his liquid cooling and his computer will be down until he gets parts. He was already running a quad core proc and 8800gtx's in sli so there wasn't a lot more for him to add. I am building a quad core 6700 with one 8800gts. My mother board has 3 16 pcie slots (one x8 electrical) so I was just thinking about it for the future. I'll probably buy another 8800 first but I was just curious about what the physics card could do.

Also I know that not a lot of games are supported yet which is why I was asking about the demonstration game. However the unreal engine supports physics cards so I think we will se more games using it in the future.

The Unreal Engine 3 is pretty open about what physics engine it supports. If a developer wants, he can use Havok 4.0 instead of physics, which is more likely to happen, since only some of the people that buy from Dell own a PhysX card. I don't think you'll see a whole lot of games with the PhysX logo on them anytime ever.

It really is a waste, though. It's often beaten by cheaper and older dual core processors with Ageias own benchmarks. The card is cheap, with the same process and number of transisters as a GeForce 6200, and only 128MB of RAM for the price of an 8600gt. Not only are you paying for the card, but you're also making up for the money lost by Ageia for giving out the PhysX API for free to developers. Not only are you paying for the card, but you're paying for all 5 games that use it, whether you have those games or not.
