BFG Ageia PhysX Physics Processing Card - Analysis and Showcase

When Mountain View California start-up Ageia announced a new co-processor architecture for Desktop 3D Graphics that offloaded the heavy burden physics places on the CPU-GPU rendering pipeline, the industry applauded what looked like the enablement of a new era of PC Gaming realism. Of course, on paper and in PowerPoint, things always look impressive, so we waited with baited breath for hardware to ship. That day has come and we've fully tested a new card shipped to us from BFG Tech, built on Ageia's new PPU.
