PC Peripherals The Physics Processing Unit poll !

[Blade_Runner]

So who's is going to jump the gun when the Physx cards finally arrive around May. Choose your options......

 

[Rahul]

where are the options ?? and wat are the options ???

 

[Blade_Runner]

^^ chk now. The options are up.

 

[Rahul]

actually i don'r know much about PPU's ..... yeah i know i started the thread but i haven't done much reserch ....anyways for now i will think that i will stick with GPU based solution ...... if nvidia lauches different SLI solution i mean smaller card like 6600GT with high end card and smaller card for physics solution it will be best ....

EDIT: i think this thread sud be in the graphics card section

Sorry not interested in accelerating physics. Pc gaming is expensive as it is.

Point is I am very very interested..... it is the cost factor which is stopping me.... I have no money for anything

 

[zhopudey]

I'll like to see how it get implemented. If its only used for eyecandy like particles and explosions, then its no use. If the physics actually affects gameplay, that'll be something

 

[Shripad]

wait and watch for now, and honestly i wont justify spending 10k on it just yet.

They should bring it out cheap. A PPU more expensive than mainstream GFX card simply does not make sense. It should be more like $140-150 or max 5-6K here then i might just go out and buy one the day it comes out. But i know thats not gona happen.

If everything goes as Planned, i wont have to buy a PPU Unit .

 

[Harshal]

I will like to skip this thing if I can... with 100 titles rolling I doubt it... but still. Yeah, if it can be had in say Dual-PPU (single PCB) PCIE 4X for about $250.. then I will get one right away as I dont need to upgrade PPUs every 8-10 months.

think its another gimmick to get gamers to shell out more cash

 

[Chaos]

LOL GPU is enuf for me... anyway my pc doesn't have any free PCI slots

 

[hunt3r]

Me neither, dont need one and dont plan to buy one. One thing i dont understand is why cant they just integrate a ppu unit onto the gpu itself or even a separate ppu on the same pcb. and it can share the Vram as well. Obv they want to rip us off but it would mean a lot more revenues for aegia from licensing tech that will sell in millions of gpu's than from selling maybe a couple of thousand/ten thousand ppu's. Size wont be a factor as the current ppu is fabbed on 150 nm iirc. If they can go to even 110 nm if not 90 the size can be reduced quite a bit.
