Ageia PhysX & You

By now you have certainly seen some “reviews” of Ageia’s PhysX PPU (Physics Processor Unit) cards. I have been struggling a bit with how to present our opinions on this hardware, but I think I have come up with a succinct answer for our readers.

As of today, the PhysX PPU is simply not going to deliver a gaming value worth the purchase price. Does this make it bad hardware?
