NVIDIA Company already attempted to state that the abilities of video card geForce 9800 GTX on base of g92 chip for physics acceleration in games exceed the possibilities of four core processor core 2 Quad. Intel company already demonstrated the possibility of nehalem processors to accelerate physical effects in games - in one scene with 50-60 thousand particle .
With the reference to the words of AGEIA founder : the adaptation of the physical physX engine to NVIDIA platform will be soon completed. Moreover, NVIDIA company already made a similar scene (Intel) , which show the interaction of 65 thousand particles. GeForce 9800 GTX Video card in this demo ensures 300 FPS - this almost 20 times faster than nehalem processor with eight virtual cores.
AGEIA founder confirmed that video card NVIDIA soon will use the physical engine physX, the result will appear already in the present year. For acceptable physical effects calculation speed a video card with class not lower than GeForce 8800 GT is required . PhysX support will be supported by video card series geForce 9xxx.
