Re:What will this do to GPU physics? (Score 1)

It will do very little to nothing. The Ageia and CPU physics are performed in main system memory so the game can interact with them and they can interact back with the game. The physics on the GPUs exist only superficially in the GPU memory so only the GPU, not CPU, can interact with them individually or tell them what to do. All the CPU and game can do is tell the GPU which areas to push, pull, modify, spawn or kill them and how they behave, but the CPU can't look up individual objects and their positions. I would like to see them working in harmony - the GPU can process thousands upon thousands of simple effects objects such as smoke, perhaps fluids, particles, and debris ( things that the player and game objects wouldn't collide with ) while pre-broken things that the player and game objects must interact with will be done in system memory. In both situations, the more power the better.
