What Graphics Card

[mjaa]

Havok is open for everyone, not a ATI thing. And it wont be implemented in GPUs, its a CPU only thing. There are loads of games that use Havok.

To the GPU thing, trust me if you compare a GPUs render power to a good CPU ones, the CPU gets sooo badly outperformed.

I have a Q9550 at 4x 3.6GHz stable running, still rendering a movie needs about 2-3 hours longer than using my GTX 260.

To the power consumption your right. Both, HD 48xx series and nvidias G92 chips are real power killers. I mixed it up with the new GTX 200 series, which barely uses 20-25W in idle.

To the Linux drivers, no idea, thats what the situation was a year or two ago.

I know alot of people who bought a secound nvidia card just to use as physX card.. And they say, no fucking diffrent and after that sold the cards.

A gpu is better on many things.. But right now, physX it aint helping cpu that much in games.


Amd and intel are working hard with havok...  Me and many belive that havok is the future,  and physX will die.
