Ageia can use more than one card

Doubly, triple, quad your physics?

A SHARP-EYED reader spotted that the new Ageia driver mentions the use of multiple Physx cards.

You can go at Ageia site and download the new driver here.

A thingy called Hardware Scene Manager (HSM) now uses compartments, allowing the use of multiple Physx cards in the future. It seems we are at the dawn of multiple Ageia cards to boost your physics performance.

The company has some really cool demos that it showed in New York. These includes 'deformable' objects. This new feature can calculate how much a first barrel deforms a second one on impact. Things start to look much better and more realistical than ever before, apparently.

As for PCIe Ageia cards, we told you about it a year and a half ago in one of the first articles on Physx ever, here. ยต
