First off Nvidia sucks. With that said I do have to give physx some credit. My buddy just gave me his 9800GTX+ after he got the new 4890. Well I'm using it for my second monitor and using my 4870X2 for the main. Of course I'm using windows 7. I have to say what a difference with PhysX on in games like Mirrors edge. Again it's all eye candy and with my 4870X2 rendering the graphics I do not see a performance drop. I guess at this point I am ready for Havok or PhysX or Shittix or whatever crap the big 3 want to promote. It has been an interesting test using ATi with Nvidia.....I truthfully would not by a separate card for PhysX. Not work the money and Ageia proved it was too expense of a limited use add on.

gtx 260 and I've played alot of physX games,

Not sure if you are talking about that PCIE card or the addition to the GPUs. If GPU then = cool.

It's a cool idea but nvidia hurting themselves the way there handling it. You think they could see this but I guess there just to stupid and greedy.

I think Natural Motion looks the best. Havoc is pretty good too. Physics is not the best anyway, I think it is still good though. Hopefully I am not getting mixed up with Euphoria and Natural Motion. I really want to know how you can get an nvidia video card and a ati video card together. sli and crossfire supported motherboard? I guess they can go together.
When I think of physics I usually think of Crysis, even though there are many other games.
Hopefully that has not been disabled, since when I walk on the villians in batman Arkham Asylum, I go right through them.

I think Physx added alot to the game however because it isnt a universal standard its something i can live without. I bought a 9800gt as a dedicated Physx card because i wanted to see the games with Physx support in all there glory.

But if Physx died to make way for a universal system i would be all for that. As long as user can use ANY card as a dedicated Physics Processing Unit i dont see how it would disadvantage either company.

It would be less hassle thats for sure
