On top of that, doesnt ATI require a proprietary API to access their physics?
Good luck getting anybody to seriously use it. While this is happening the guys making the PhysX card keep working with devs to get their product support. Which btw I am pretty impressed with the amount of titles working on support for the card, considering there is currently 0% penetration by the card.

Yep I agree, nVidia and ATi's solution are both half assed attempts at physics processing. If AGEIA can drop the price of their PhysX card and get a killer game, I'll gladly buy it.

Yeap 300$ for a card that can't give us anything worthmentioning right now is BS..
I might be paying a lot of $$ for my gaming hobby but this card right now isn't anywhere near my needs.. It's just a showoff for the time being..

If they do get a killer app, then then need to make it is a PCIe1x configuration. SLI/Crossfire gamers will have the one free PCI slot populated with an aftermarket sound card don't you know .

Ok...but his reply sounded like he disagreed with me on something. I'm not sure what. I was just replying that from a marketing standpoint and from a general consumer standpoint, the G71 was a success and why I felt that way.

As for the RS600...lots of rumors at this point. We won't really know what's what until we get closer to the launch date which is at best 4 months away and perhaps as much 7 months away.
