PhysX is the name of the physics processor AGEIA has developed for 3D-games. The physics processor, also known as PPU (Physics Processing Unit), will be a supplement to 3D-games where neither the processor nor graphic card will be abel to handle all of the powerful physical effects which game developers wants to add to their games for a more impressive experience. The latest news was that PhysX had signed an agreement with graphic card manufacturer BFG who would make PCI-cards with the PPU.
Now a Japanese site has managed to acquired a BFG PhysX-card and took the oppurtunity to take some pictures of the card. The card contains the PPU and 128MB memory. The card is expected to cost 199 dollar when it arrives later this year.
