Ageia PhysX in February?

Ageia PhysX is a processor for expansion cards that will process realistic physics in-game, taking the load off the CPU and GPU. The chip will support:
  • Universal collision detection
  • Finite element analysis
  • Soft body dynamics
  • Fluid dynamics
  • Hair simulation
  • Clothing simulation
  • Rag dolls
  • Vehicles
ASUS is the primary manufactorer of PhysX cards and they state that the cards have been ready for release for quite some time now, they are just delaying the release until some games support them. Among some of the games that will have support for PhysX is Warhammer 40,000 MMO, City of Villains, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and games built on Unreal Engine 3 or the Reality Engine.
