As someone who loves expansion slots and hates how GPUs and SSDs keep taking them away, I’d legit want one of these if they were real. Hell, I’m still mourning the death of the physics card.
(Edit: No I didn’t mean PhysX. They were a brand at one point, not the tech. PhysX invented the physics card, and were the only ones to produce them because nVidia bought out the tech before it could be mass produced.)
Oh man, the only time I have ever seen a PhysX card mentioned in the wild was back then on my fathers XP machine in Crazy Machines 2. And I wanted that sucker so badly. Never laid my hands on one though. Now that I’m thinking about it, I don’t even know what they look like…
Yes, PhysX was the first company to produce physics cards. (And the only one because nVidia bought the tech and integrated it into their GPUs before it even had a chance to hit the ground running.)
