Anyone try a physics accelerator?

WoW has physics?

It will when WOTLK comes out. They've added a ton of new reputations like Physics, Math, Phys Ed, and Social Studies.

I hear the grind is a bitch.

source please

Most 3d games have some physics calculations, but they are usually pretty minor (like collision detection) and a separate physics card is only useful if the game is programmed to take advantage of it. (which is quite rare at the moment). Having a separate core of the CPU take care of physics calculations is a lot easier than using an separate card, from what I've read.

until they add sex ed as one count me out, and only if there is a grind for it.

anywho more on topic. The purpose of the card was to offload some calculations from the CPU over to the card. And despite their website claiming that even multicore CPUs and graphics cards cant handle the load themselves is preposterous. Ive never had any game come close to maximizing CPU load nor GPU load (except crysis for GPU but more on that later)

And why drop 200 bucks on a card that is hardly supported? Id rather drop 350 and go SLI even though I dont need that either, but atleast there is a lot more support for it out there software wise.

Case in point, dont buy it, not for WoW and not for anything.

Another stupid thing on their website is their list of games. where half of them are console games and stated at the top dont do you any good because the card is for a PC not a console. So 15 PC games are listed. and of those 15 there are 3 games that are duplicates of ones listed that need not be listed and atleast 2 more that arent out yet. so 200 dollars to (supposedly) enhance a mere 10 games is laughable at best rofl! :lol:
