tarna Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Depends. A CPU now can cost over Ruminations... When a man has no Future, the Present passes too quickly to be assimilated and only the static Past has value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Sounds to me like it'd be more the game code than the card itself. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not so sure. I have yet to play a game with AGEIA physics which really wowed me. It just seemed to be "okay, so enemies ragdoll less than realistically." You can't drag them, or even bump into them. *Shrugs* It is possible that games aren't taking advantage of all its features, but that could be because the features themselves suck. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I haven't read up about the card a whole lot, but the little bit that I am makes it sound like it's a physics accelerator, much like a graphics accelerator. I'm not sure how it would do ragdoll physics differently than the software version of a game...or why it would either. Awesome 3D graphics cards don't stop a game that has ugly graphics from being ugly, or sloppy code from being slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumquatq3 Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 What I'm wondering is, how much is this thing figuring to cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I wonder if there is inherent concessions made when designing physics for an MMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WITHTEETH Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 What I'm wondering is, how much is this thing figuring to cost <{POST_SNAPBACK}> $300 dollars, thats about 47 euros.
