There's been some recent rumblings in the PC hardware industry which states the GPUs should be adequate enough to handle the physic chores of tomorrow's games. Is that the real deal or a bunch of fluff? Manju Hegde, CEO of Ageia, is here to help shed light on the situation.

What a horrible title. I'd say "Ageia voices their oppinion". I'm still not convinced either way. I don't think that people will buy expensive, power-hungry additional cards (with an extra fan no less) just for physics. Especially not with the prices they put out. Then again it seems weird what Havoc claims as well. How can the graphics card which already has it's "hands" full generating graphics all of a sudden calculate lots of physics? Does not seem like there's a lot of hardware power to harness there. Either way, I think it was a poor decision on Ageia's part to do some silly interview to counter Havoc's. |
