TechNews RoundUp - PhysX cards with a game - tech
(hx) 02:07 AM CEST - May,04 2006 - Post a comment / read (3)

Asus to ship PhysX cards with a game - The cards should be available by the end of the month.
S3's MultiChrome dual-GPU technology - Seems like the S3 products are always on par with year-old ATI and Nvidia stuff.
ASUS P5WD2-E Premium mobo - The integrated feature list of the P5WD2-E Premium is impressive and it certainly puts the competition to shame.
Eizo FlexScan S2410W 24inch widescreen monitor - The 14-bit colour processing ASIC gave excellent 256 greyscales and colour scales - smooth as they come, with no signs of banding.
LG 32LX2R 32in LCD TV - A search for features on the 32LX2R quickly uncovers a disappointment: there's only a built-in analogue tuner, not a digital one.
Samsung's 19-inch CX919B boasts 2000:1 contrast ratio -It features 2000:1 contrast ratio, the highest so far in its industry, and 2m response time.
Asus EN7600GT Silent - The EN7600GT is the perfect card for silent PC junkies.
USB Flash Drive Roundup - May 2006 - Geil developed a USB flash drive faster than OCZ's Rally.
Space Cube - Linux-running, pocket sized computer - The unbelievably minuscule cube (2 x 2 x 2.2 inch case) packs 300 MHz CPU and 64 MB of SDRAM.
MacBook owners plan mass whine about whining laptops - What's the problem? The noise is a high-pitched whine or hiss the machine emits during operation.
Gone in 20 Minutes: using laptops to steal cars - It was only a matter of time before thieves got smart to the whole "keyless entry" thing and found a way around it.
'Cloaking device' idea proposed - Nicolae Nicorovici and Graeme Milton propose that placing certain objects close to a material called a superlens could make them appear to vanish.
How to hold your breath for nine minutes - Illusionist David Blaine is attempting to break the world record for holding breath under water.

omg i can't believe asus is gonna sell this crap! lol. geeez, 1 company i had a bit of respect for.. then BFG?? ouch! this card better 'get worth it' really quick or there's gonna be serious money loss..

as havok said, i'm all for physic acceleration but i think it should be the cpu/gpu solely responsible and i don't think this market needs to be flooded with bs products, we got enough of Creative labs thanks..in games like hl2, I don't think prop lag is due to our processors or anything of the sort, it's just bad code. Poor or half assed code..There are games like UT that already have good physics code, I'm slightly appalled that Epic would buy into this garbage too.. the Pc market really is going down the tubes!!

Gimme Duke Nukem George! Before I go ballistic!!!

tis sad....

maybe the card needs more bandwidth, like an x16 pci-e slot instead of the horrid pci bus it's currently on. I still think having a dedicated physics processor is a good idea, but they need to go all-or-nothing for it to be effective, and if that means partitioning the user base then so be it, it's been done before... It's not like $250 is worth THAT much these days. I mean really that's only half the price of a graphics card, or a quarter of the price if you go SLI...

I think games requiring SLI to do physics would be much worse... Then you'd have to spend another $500 or so instead of $250.

Like havok said, the "effects" in GRAW are fake particles, and only on the order of 100s, not tens of thousands like the PPU is capable of.

They need another chance.

Sure a physics accelerator would be nice, but it would be way nicer if it wasn't an additional card but rather incorporated on the video card.

It's enough we pay a lot for 'mildly' improved video card than to have to go and spend an additional $300... Why didn't ATI or nVidia buyout these guys and incorporate their stuff onto their cards? How is it these guys won so many future tech awards and nobody knows about it? Why is it their investors are somewhat attached to valueware software titles? Why is it they don't even have Havok certification?

Everywhere I have read where people have tested the card said it was a joke too and see little to no value. I've seen the videos and stuff and I just don't buy it.

The most important point to me overall is, wtf would you want all this crap in your game? Are people really going to pump up fog and debris and crap when they play online? Gimme a break. Most supposedly 'elite' gamers turn off all the crap and pump gamma and brightness to maximum just so darkness doesn't affect their aim..

Until this card has some certification like from Havok, I doubt many people will buy into it. Just my opinion.
