It's not a direct response to AMD unveiling the
HD Radeon 4850 X2 and 4870 X2 yesterday, but NVIDIA also came to play at SIGGRAPH, and it's got lots of new GPU-as-CPU toys for us this morning -- and what's more, they're free. Like we'd
been hearing, GeForce 8, 9, and 200-series cards are all getting PhysX support as of today via a free GeForce Power Pack that contains a free full copy of Warmonger, three PhysX-enabled Unreal Tournament 3 maps, demos of Metal Knight Zero and the Nurien UT3-based social networking service, and a couple tech demos. The Power Pack also includes some new
CUDA apps to play with, including a new Folding@Home client (
ahem) and a trial version of the Badaboom video transcoder. That's a lot of new toys, so get downloading and let us know what you think!

What about ATI developing drivers for linux and unix based systems? My 4870x2 would be nice to use in linux.
So you don't* need a physx card if you own an 8 series card? Or do you?
Holy St. Awesome I've been waiting for this for so long. I downloaded the, erm, Legitimately Released PhysX system Software and prerelease drivers but I haven't really had much to test with.
