From the FAQ ...

How much does AGEIA PhysX cost?

PhysX accelerators are very affordable with an MSRP of $299

Hmm, that sounds like a potential must buy to me. :P

Especially if you read this.

First of all, there are over 60 developers planning to deliver as many as 100 PhysX-accelerated game titles from now through 2006 and into 2007. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a brand new technology category like this being supported to this extent by leading content providers.

With two graphics cards will you have room ?

My 7900's take up 4 slots and I have no more room unless I take out the X-fi and use the on board sound ... :(

May be they have an extension cable/connection ... :lol: .... wishfull thinking ... :roll: :lol:

I think it will just fit but it's gonna be tight.



If you look at the picture you can see the blue and the black pci-e slots.
Above the second pci-e slot there is just enough room for a soundcard and that leaves one slot available for a PhysX card.
It's not gonna improve airflow though. :lol:
