PhysX cards to be phased out

Posted on Monday, March 10 2008 @ 1:25 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck

FUD Zilla heard from NVIDIA that they will not continue the AGEIA PhysX cards:

The physics card as a hardware device will die. Nvidia spokespersons were very precise about that as they said that the current PhysX cards will be the first and the last of their kind.

Nvidia will implement PhysX instructions into CUDA and the GeForce GPU should take over the physics hardware role.

If you have a PhysX card, you can definitely be sure that that it will be the last one to launch.
