And nobody is going to buy it until there are games that can take advantage of it. So it goes around in a big circle. The principle behind the Ageia PhysX card is sound, and certainly works great when you can employ it. But nobody si making any real effort to doing so. What does get installed is the PhysX runtimes, as well as a driver should you then decide to buy a PhysX card later. By default, it has to provide a software layer so that the stuff that the PPU would normally have been handling would then be handled on the CPU. But of course, what is capable with the PhysX API can only really be taken advantage of when the hardware is there.
