It makes me wonder how Ageia could not have seen it coming that if they tried to produce / launch a physics card, the graphics card manufacturers would just do their own implementation. Maybe they did see it but wanted to try their luck anyway.
It's like the Graphics card makers have basically given the big middle finger =D.
I support them too, is there any reason to have 2 seperate peices of hardware for it? It makes thorough sense to just include it on the GPU. And by it being included on the GPU, the mandatory part, as well as being on both ATI / nVidia's cards, it's bound to be more widely supported fast.
The only downside is that you wouldn't be able to upgrade your physics card seperately, but as new games with more advanced physics calculations arrive, their graphics will also be more advanced, so you'd need a new card anyway?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
