Using your GPU as a PPU

Interesting. An implementation of the Havok physics engine in SM3.0.
Definitely more convenient than buying a dedicated PPU. :)

Well this sound great! If maybe at this current stage in my computers evolution as little expensive.... due to the fact it would probably only be PCI-E based...

But with QUAD SLI systems in development :) finally realistic physics :D cool....

quick must rob a bank.... I need that uber computer with Dell 30" HD widescreen TFT :D and 4 7900GTs

finally a reasonable use for SLI other than pumping graphics a bit more

Indeed, seems like an ideal solution and not the money pit that SLI is in its current form.

To be honest how Graphics are currently I think its great but I want real physics more than anything. In the likes of HL2 & COD2 the physics where good but still no where near real....

sli is great for rendering. as it requires mucho beef in the processor and gpu department

plus i like to play hl2 while rendering out a video in max....

Well this is the best physics engine we have atm... for comercial games anyway.
