bloody hell sorry civic i think im blind. Interesting article, mix of depressing and optimistic - nasty to see that Piracy is the biggest threat to the mac gaming market, and probably a 'kill two birds with one stone' situation by stopping the piracy the companies would make more sales, and therefore have more money and a bigger chance of being able to pay for the middle-ware.

Piracy would be dead if there was a more connected serial number infrastructure.

Just a minor clarification, Ageia is UE3... at least the physics side of it. So yea, I hope for the PCI-X PPUs or even a GPU/PPU configuration that goes through AGP (8X). They need to realize doing PCIe only would shut out every mac.

Argh your impossible myst Wink  Yes the U3 engine uses Agela - so when you saw (if you did see) the demo etc of the U3 engine with the avalanche of boulders etc - well that was the Agela Physics engine in the U3 Engine. - so there is support for the PPU built right in.

IM gussing Apple is going to have to move from AGP to PCI-E with the future appearances of the G5's etc - because if Nvidia and ATI move that way with their top cards, apple sure isn't going to want their top line macs missing out (especially when they are increasing the inporance of the GPU in the OS - and although Tiger ships with Quartz Extreme 2 turned off by default, im guessing as soon as the GPU chips beef up and we start seeing 512 cards etc, then they'll be turning it on and we'll be reaping the benifits Smiley

PCIe is a gimmick. AGP 4X is yet to even near its potential but yea, the myth will always win. Damn corporations.

Note worthy is the addition of PhysX to the PS3 features list. X360 is quickly becoming the looser.

yep thats a big win for them. Im getting the feeling these guys are really going to knock havok sideways - they are getting the big guns supporting them and the addition of the PS3 is a massive boon

Thought it was worth bumping this topic back up... partially because i just remembered (after reading about the slew of big games titles heading the PC way in time for christmas) that the Ageia PPU card is actually meant to be turning up before the end of the year... and i think what happens with this card/ and its inpact on gaming could be extreamly interesting!

the latest q & a on the ghr3 site says devs use havok and novodex for the pc version.

http://www.ghostrecon.com/uk/newspost.php?id=13950

novodex is agaia: http://www.ageia.com/products/physx.html

but this doesn't look like it's instantly mac compatible.

If you want to get an idea of real Physics Processing Power get watch this video - most inpressive is the plane crash footage at the end of the video... bloody awsome Smiley and it beats the physics from Half Life2 without doubt! Cheesy

As reported by MacWorld, PhysX engine maker Ageia has put the Macintosh PhysX hardware card on hold for the time being.

At this year's E3 Gaming Expo, Ageia has a large booth to show just what their new technology can do and the plans to support over 100 new games that are being released in the upcoming months.

"PhysX" works similar to how a video card accelerates graphics, only it crunches the mathematical calculations for in-game physics.

The physics engine itself is already used in OverTheEdge’s Mac OS X-native game development engine Unity, however the hardware acceleration won't be seen for a little while longer.

Here is what Ageia's vice president of content acquisition told Macworld:
Kathy Schoback instead said Ageia is waiting for the right time and the right opportunity to bring more emphasis to Mac gaming, and pointed out that the Mac platform isn’t the only one that Ageia has had to put on hold as the young company establishes its technology in the marketplace.
The Ageia PhysX card was officially launched this week for the PC with an approximate price tag of $300 from companies such as BFG and ASUS.

Hopefully this technology will arrive sooner than later for the Mac. Click on the link below to read the full article from MacWorld.

Typical i guess... then again the reviews i read at Anandtech weren't exactly mind blowing -

They will be destroyed by ATI and NVIDIA including onboard (GPU board) PPUs; maybe some value will finally be added to the price bloated GPUs.

I'd rather have two different cards then one big bloated graphics card.
