The
NVIDIA AGEIA PhysX Acquisition Q&A on FiringSquad talks with NVIDIA's Derek
Perez about the acquisition of AGEIA, a fellow all-caps hardware company. He
uses the same "heterogeneous computing model" phrase used yesterday to announce
the move (
story), an interesting take, since it sounds like they
plan to homogenize AGEIA's PPU onto their GPUs, saying "Physics is a natural for
processing on the GPU." As for existing stand-alone PhysX cards, he says: "We
will continue to support the current line of Ageia products that are on the
market today."

..don't buy em. They'll be phased out shortly I'm sure. The nice thing is their solution should allow them to enable the additional physics effects when you have an NVIDIA card or the standard effects without. I don't see the big deal for ATI users, as there had already been effects for certain cards that they could take advantage of and NVIDIA cards could not (combination AA/HDR). It's not like ATI/AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA were going to get together to standardize physics in games anyways.
