To the point that PhysX is shit
PhysX is shit because it runs like shit on anything but Nvidia's higher-end graphics cards. Yes, PhysX can run on the CPU, but it is so damn slow that it is unusable.
Anyone who has played the official PhysX pack for UT3 or the game Warmonger knows that the potential for accelerated physics in games is great. However, so long as PhysX runs like crap on anything but higher-end Nvidia cards and Nvidia doesn't even allow its cards to be used alongside AMD/ATI cards in the same PC, PhysX will die out just like Glide did.
Unless Nvidia opens up PhysX then Microsoft's DirectCompute will be the winner of the GPU physics API wars.
