Quick Update: Our holy graphics maker Nvidia has just released their FREE geforce power packs which enables PhysX technology using CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) in all geforce cards 8 series and above! Best of all it includes plenty of stuff in the package to test out the new toys, including tech demos, unreal engine stuff, drivers to make it work, and warmonger (PhysX original shawcase) totalling 2719 mb in all! What are you waiting for nV owner? Experience real-time physics like the kids over at ATI never could! Oh and dont feel totally left out ATI fanboys, the 4870×2 just came out. Too bad ATI driver and game support suck so much!
