It doesn't even work with newer games anymore. It was a piece of shit to begin with basically. If you want hardware physx support you need to buy an nvidia card.

Last I checked, the physx software distributed by nvidia still supports it.

To date, there's only been like maybe two games that use PhysX, but only the geForce physx.

There's been more then two games. Almost every UE3 game supports hardware PhysX.

While the official nvidia drivers support the original PhysX PCI card, it's not useable in almost every game. It doesn't have the horsepower to run them.

Uh, that's what I was saying... there were only two games on record that didn't support the PPU, and instead needed the nvidia geforce PhysX support.

I've done GeForce Physx with 2 ATI cards before with no issues. Never tried the Ageia cards though.

However I just have to ask,
»[Rant] windows 7 is the most retarded os ever and its broke to

In that thread you are so anti ATI and all pro nVidia, now all of the sudden you want an ATI card and worried about getting screwed into an nVidia card? Am I missing something here?

i dont know about the performance claims of the Ageia but you'll need older forceware drivers if want to use it with an ATI card. i dont remember the last version that supported ATIs co-existing but it's probably 6 months old now

There is a hack floating around for current forceware drivers so you can still use ATI cards while using an nvidia card for physx support.
