In that article it just says physx this physx that and shows a few FPS charts. I'd rather have more information. That's what it's all about. Learning and understanding. I hope physx lives, whether it's the "free" version ( that ATI is trying to push ) or not. I have a hard time grasping nvidia would just cede. It's more than just a gimmick.

if there was a way to find out what exactly the physx card uses to perform it's part................ you could get your answer. no need to test 47 games. no need to use 47 different cards.
as I said before. performance is a combination of many different factors. unfortunately we only see the frames per second side. I've gotten high frames and rotten performance before and I've gotten low frames and good performance before.
