Nvidia closes Ageia acquisition
Borging complete
NVIDIA has let it be known that it has completed its acquisition of Physx firm Ageia.
Neither outfit is spilling the beans on what the deal cost Nvidia, so we'll have to wait for the relevant filings.
No doubt the A G E I and A after whom the outfit is named are off counting their new beans and quaffing Champers at the success of their marchitectural ruse.
As for Nvidia, it no doubt has its marketeers scratching ther heads over what to do with the ball-bouncing, blood splattering technology.
Nvidgea PhysForce anyone? µ

I can see what is down the road
What do bet that the next generation or so of hi end Nevada cards have a dedicated physics chip onboard as well thanks to Ageia. Very possible and I would like to see the performance reviews.Have a great day,

Actually if they're smart...
They'll drop it onto their motherboards. Why buy a green team board? You don't just get SLI, but also Physx too! At least that's one way to make it work.What to do
Aren't they porting the technology to cuda, making it available to everyone with a GeForce 8 or better?theINQ does it again
damn funny article! ;) Thumbs up to author!And ?
Are we any closer to getting games with totally modifiable terrain and structures ?Does this mean that we get bigger environments to play in ?
Does this mean that we get a PhysX chip with every Nvidia graphics card, or do we get integrated PhysX with Nvidia BIOS solutions ?
Come on, guys, I want to drive a tank through a house and watch the house collapse without having to resort to a scripted sequence, and without my tank blowing up in the process.
