“PhysX is getting a lot of attention right now, but the reasons vary wildly. Since we haven’t taken a look at the technology in a while, this article’s goal is to see where things stand. We’ll also be taking an in-depth look at GPU PhysX performance, using both 3DMark Vantage and UT III.”Here are some more Graphics Card articles from around the web:

Better benchmarks can be yours
But that is about all the benefit you will see from nVIDIA’s PhysX capable GPUs,
unless you are one of the few still playing UT3 (like me). Those benefits that you saw in 3DMark, and heard arguing about, are really the only benefit. UT3 is better with the stand alone card and as it stands currently, GRAW is not compatible with the GPU PhysX; which may change in the near future. Drop by Techgage for some hard numbers on the benefits of nVIDIA’s newest feature.
