    waste of money, they'll delay it untill they get proper games that actually support the thing.

    As said above, these physics cards seem a waste of money but if you look at the ads on right of this forum you will see: http://www.bfgtech.com/future/ , that screams physics card at me...

    Or why dont they just put a physx core on the same silicon as the graphics card since we have soooo much free bandwidth in the pcie lanes??

    bandwidth isnt really an issue, the fact is you wouldnt be able to fit it all on the same pcb

    And possibly a separate fab for making the physics chips depending on the fab you are currently using.
