How's the PHYSX card, and in what games do you see the most gain? Just kinda curious because I was considering one.

I know what they are, and I know they work in GRAW, but I was wondering if they really made that big of a deal. (yes I've read reviews, but I want to know from someone who uses it daily).

Well it is UT3 and GRAW that i see the gains . My main reason for buying it though is that it adds quite a bit to my 3DMark '06 score (Benchmarking is little hobby of mine ) of arround 400 points (Getting over 16,000 now ). I wouldnt really recomend buying one though right at this time as nVidia have just purchased ageia and will be intergrating the SDK to run on GPU's, making this card redundent. If you can pick on up cheap though (Like i did) then it may be worth it if you play PhysX games and you are getting a low FPS in them.
