Didn't look into it too much, I just thought the video was pretty cool...but more than likely it would since it shows it in the video.

it says it requires the physics card, but I remember reading that the demo version was hacked to run without the phys card and the performance was equivalent, although some effects were missing (irc, moving fabric and water effects).

The full version is coming out on the 8th! Yeah! Also, the physics processor will add some effects but is not required(I think).

Someone had the link to that game for MONTHS in their sig with link text "Let's see Core 2 Duo handle this much physics".

Yeah. I saw that trailer a long time ago. Apparently, when they demo'ed it. They had to lower tohe resolution because the processsor coudln't handle the phyiscs.

I wonder what it would be like on the cell..

I remember the trailers .. I would just hope the game becomes more than simply a physics demo.

I think that was Acanthus.

Looks like Ageia is going nowhere though.

Wow, I feel like I have been waiting to this one forever. I remember watching the videos over a year ago.

I'll be interested to see how it runs...

i refuse to buy that damned physics card. I'll wait till nVidia comes out with their physics-on-GPU method, however I have a crossfire system so not sure if I can really couple anything with my 8800gts.

plus, Crytek said they don't need any PPU to do the great physics that CryEngine 2.0 is capable of and specifically to the extent Crysis uses.

crysis is gonna take one mother of a cpu though

all I know is that currently, iirc, the game, when demo'd, is on a single 8800 (likely gtx), same with UT3.
hopefully my rig as it stands provides a great quality experience at 1280x1024 (limited by monitor).

to have that kind of environment that was demo'd you are going to need a ton of processing power. Look at supreme commander. Its not all that visually exciting but you cant play with more than 2-3 people unless you have a decent dual core proc. I have a feeling crysis is going to be as intensive because of the physics involved and the AI. It should be neat to see how it plays out though.
