At my job yesterday, a collegue talked to me about a certain "Physics Card". And is written "PhysX".
That the card in question would be used only to calculate stuff from the "Physics" part of a game. Like a "second mini-CPU just for that purpose", as he said.
That guy is not a liar at all, and I do believe him.
But I never heard about such a thing. Although ... I admit I'm not really the type of guy taking time to do searches on the web for "missing information" related to a subject I like (computers, in this case).
Any of you know more about that ?
Is it a PCI device ? PCI-Express ? AGP ?
Is it supported by all games with "physics" in their engine ? Such as the Source engine ?
I'd appreciate more information please. If it does exist, and you guys certainly have some information to give me about it.
Thanks for your time, and help.
