|  Ageia PhysX question.
Hey everyone,
I was just wondering something about the Ageia PhysX physics processor. Lets say you have a game that is NOT Ageia compatible (i.e. F.E.A.R. or Doom 3), since there is physics in those games (DUH) and that the physics are supposedly calculated on this card, will there be a difference of quality/performance of the animations, even though the game isn't made for Ageia?
Thanks

No, only games that use the PhysX SDK can have their physics be hardware accelerated by the PhysX accelerator. | |

Ok thanks, but somehow in some articles they say tha tthey did see some difference in gaming with games that were non-Ageia. Are they just stupid or they are right.
