See for your self, here is a Hi-Def video demostration of the game, 'CellFactor'. (there is a brief commercial right before the actual video).

Whith this card and directx 10, you'll be living in a virtual world. Make sure to look for these key features when watching the above HD video.

Explosions that cause dust and collateral debris
Characters with complex, jointed geometries for more life-like motion and interaction
Spectacular new weapons with unpredictable effects
Cloth that drapes and tears the way you expect it to
Lush foliage that sways naturally when brushed against
Dense smoke & fog that billow around objects in motion


Common sense not required

That is simply too cool. I've also read that the Havok engine (as realistic as it looks) can only handle a few dozen or so fully physics-enabled objects, whereas the physX processor can handle thousands (!) of fully physical objects in real-time. Holy smoke.

It is lining up to be rather impressive but just one more card you are going to need along with the two graphics cards lol.

As cool as it is. I would not pay the price they are asking. 300$ is too rich for me. I think $150 would have been much more reasonable.

Also Nvidia(I think ATI too) is releaseing software that will put the graphics card to use as a physics processor. I think using the second card in SLI or Crossfiore to render physics and graphics would be great and much more cost effective.
