    KnivesOut:
    Alright, I'm in for the contest!  So, PhysX, are there any games out that take advantage of it besides UT4?  The PhysX games list seems to be broken.

    I don't mean to be picky (ok, sure I do), but it's UT3. And you can find a list of supported titles here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhysX#Title_support

    ok to be clear I have already posted a question so this one does not count.

    will we be able to use our current 8 and 9 series gpus as dedicated ppu's down the road? example if I upgrade to a gtx 280 in the future will I be able to keep my 8800gt in a second pci express x16 slot running as a dedicated ppu? I think this would be a very cool feature.

    Will we see an option to allow the PhysX to pull IDLE cpu time?

    The GPU seems tasked enough as it is. Allowing the GPU to tax idle CPU cycle time would help bring a big bump for enthusiasts who would be purchacing these cards.

    Most of us are quad core or better.

    Question: What is the real point to this physx? I mean form what i hear it good and all but couldn't money and time be spent else where on video cards rather than physx which isn't going to add much to gameplay?

    How long before we can see better PhysX driver stability?

    For the future of GPU's and CPU's do you see CPU's with integrated GPU's as feasable, and are you working on any? Will any of them be high end enough to run PhysX, or will we still be seeing add-on cards?

    Alright,

    Can you mix and match different cards when using Physx? I have an older 8 series card and a GTX 260. Can I put both in a single system and use the GTX 260 for graphics and the 8800 GT for Physx?

    Is the performance gain the same if you were to use a nvidia physx card over a dedicated ppu or greater/less?

    What performance increase can I expect with a PhysX enabled card vs. one without it? Is the cost to benefit ratio worth it?

    Are there any plains to put Physx processors into on-board (motherboard) graphics processors? I think the budget systems that use low - average level processors and use on-board graphics could see benefits from a PPU if there cheap and I want to know if Nvidia agrees.

    Will an independent PhysX card cause a slowdown when paired with a video card that has a more powerful PhysX processor built in?

    How much of an improvement does PhysX give? Right now there aren't many games that can take advantage of it so will it only affect those games? Or can it provide some sort of performance boos to games that can't take advantage from it?

    With all of the stuff being offloaded from the CPU, I have noticed that my GPU is the one under more stress then the CPU, but I have a much better GPU than CPU. Why is this?

    How much of PhysX is hardware versus software?  Meaning how much hardware is it, as in how much space does it physically take up on the video card?

    After reading through the PhysX FAQ and some other inquiries, I believe I can understand some of the theoretical advancement of game physics possible through such a uniform system, but if the "CUDA-enabled GeForce GPUs will deliver the computing horsepower," then I'm less clear about where the performance gains will come from.

    Am I to understand that along with a more advanced physics potential that the massively multicore processing utilized is so efficient that we will see appreciable performance gains in other areas?

    (yes, another noob performance question!)
