Nvidia confirms PhysX hardware dies

[Wolfsong]

It's been a little over a month since Nvidia bought AGEIA Technologies... And what we've all known for a long time has now finally come to happen. No more physics 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.

mmm, hm.  not surprised.  with dual core and beyond processors, there was no need and, therefore, no market.
feel bad for the people who actually invested in them.

Yeah with the power of todays machines it was bound to happen. I've heard that they are going to integrate it somehow into the 8800 and up cards on the software side.
