    As the title reads I have just purchased a BFG Agiea PhysX card www.NCIX.com with $0.59 express shipping! I will have it in 1-2 days depending on the processing time. I am looking forward playing around with this card and see what the benifits (if there is any) will be.
    I will be back here to post a real review of the card as it performs out of the box with my system, what the box contains and if there are any demos for testing software vs. hardware. I will try my best to give the most unbiased opinion that I can. If it does suck I will say it sucks, reluctantly because I really want this to take off.

    I will take reasonable request for testing methods, try to post screen shots and if anyone want me to just try a certain game (demo if I don't own it) or setting I will do my best.

    PM me or wait for the verdict. Peace.

  8. Link dosen't work for me. How much did you pay for it? And I would be very interested in knowing how it performs in GRAW since it is the first game to officially support it.

    My bad.

    Thank you. It most certainly is :). I changed the link. It was $389 or $419 cad. after tax, insurance and shipping.

    Bonespirit it's rolleyes with :'s on either side like this... :rolleyes: and you could have added a *sigh* for effect. ;)

    Only GRAW and the Cell Factor demo work with it.

    All the other games won't.

    Congrats on the card tho, future games will rock with it.

    LOL don't buy a physX yet!! Wait until the DX10 cards and vista come out. I'm sure that either ATI or Nvidia will be able to do physics by the end of this year. I'm not buying anything else for my PC until vista comes out and DX10, there's no point. My 2gb Ram 3500+ A64 and my 7800gtx will keep me goin until the end of this year. Also if ur buyin it for ghost recon, don't bother i completed the game in 2 days!

    I thought it took like 2 years for the first DX9 only game to hit the shelves after release?

    I think you'll be waiting quite a while till even the majority of games are DX10 only.
