Nvidia bought Ageia
« on: January 15, 2009, 07:03:55 am »
Did this drop below the radar for anyone else?

I totally missed that this happed. I noticed it when I found out my GTX 280 (My first Nvidia card ever!) came with PhysX capabilities. This was a great move on the part of Nvidia. The whole "separate card" thing was not working out for most people. ATI is going down!

Yerr man, this is old news. They bought them quite a while ago didn't they?

Makes sense, having a card specifically for physics was a dumbass idea at this point in time.

Looks like it happed a year ago.

Has anyone else here seen or messed with the PhysX Api, or is it just me? And I am kinda just talking to my self.

I think his intention is to evoke reactions like these.
He wins at it so far.

You should just take what he says as a joke, I find him funny at times.

@ZomgPronniss: Well certainly you are letting him win over you. Just ignore the little critter and laugh at his failure attempts. Otherwise he's the one laughing. :B

Yeah, this is old news. Most of the games that support physx are either crap or old.

I also got the 280. Kickass piece of hardware ;) It's pretty big though, so make sure you got the space.

Heats up like crazy and uses a ton of power but its worth it to play farcry on the maximum setting.
