Well, later than I thought...

I always wondered what was Ageia thinking when they decided to put out their own hardware card. Well, yeah, the explanation is simple, greed. Now the reap what they sow.

Ah, how different it would have been had they licensed their technology to ATI, Nvidia, and Intel instead (if that would be possible at all). Maybe in an ideal world we would have had real hardware integrated accelerated physics in all video cards by now.

But now... the market fragments yet again. Intel buys Havok, Nvidia buys Ageia, AMD/ATI, um, well...

So in the end, developers and users end up losing and the PC graphics market looks a little more like a mini-console war in the making. Whooop de dup...

yech!

I hope NVIDIA either keeps the current add-in cards and makes new ones. However if they're just going to add it to the features of the Geforce cards as this article sounds, I won't be buying it or any other NVIDIA cards for that matter. Obviously it's an attempt to corner the market.

Sack Charlie Demerjian, he obviously hasn't got a clue what he's talking about. If PC gaming is going down the toilet, how the hell can Nvidia make money?
