THE FORCE HAS BEEN UNLEASHED ALREADY! THE FORCE OF NVIDIA PHYSX!
http://www.nvidia.com/content/forcewithin/us/index.html

Works with all NVIDIA cards 8 thousand and up!

Also, please give me a rating, preferably informative. Thanks!

"Delivering physics in games is no easy task. It's an extremely compute-intensive environment based on a unique set of physics algorithms that require tremendous amounts of simultaneous mathematical and logical calculations.

This is where NVIDIA® PhysX™ Technology and GeForce® processors come in. NVIDIA PhysX is a powerful physics engine which enables real-time physics in leading edge PC and console games. PhysX software is widely adopted by over 150 games, is used by more than 10,000 registered users and is supported on Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PC.

In addition, PhysX is designed specifically for hardware acceleration by powerful processors with hundreds of cores. Combined with the tremendous parallel processing capability of the GPU, PhysX will provide an exponential increase in physics processing power and will take gaming to a new level delivering rich, immersive physical gaming environments with features such as:

* Explosions that cause dust and collateral debris
* Characters with complex, jointed geometries for more life-like motion and interaction
* Spectacular new weapons with incredible effects
* Cloth that drapes and tears naturally
* Dense smoke & fog that billow around objects in motion

The only way to get real physics with the scale, sophistication, fidelity and level of interactivity that dramatically alters your entertainment experience will be with one of the millions of NVIDIA PhysX-ready GeForce processors. "

Couple of ways to use it (provided by Night-Eagle! Thanks!:

Standard - one GPU renders both Graphics + PhysX
------------------------------
SLI mode - have two GPUs render both Graphics + PhysX.
------------------------------
Multi-GPU mode - GPU1 renders Graphics and GPU2 renders PhysX.

What is in the special package:http://www.guru3d.com/article/physx-by-nvidia-review/

New drivers, and support for 8 thousand series and up.

The special package includes all new cool tech demos, reviewed in the link above. Along with GRAW 2 patch for better physics, and a full version of warmonger!


Yay!

ATI people need not be sad! A modder has found out a way to enable it on the newier cards, stay tuned and he may release his software. He is close to completing it!

Soo this means...what exactly? Not like it's going to turn HL2 into this orgasm inducing thing.

i did the testing stuff

i got an average of 9 fps, thats pretty .. bad.

water physics thing goes about 2-3frames per second.

hmm, i hope this didnt make my games slow too.
