The more important question to ask is : When will PhysX matter? It does not right now and I hope it never does. The gamer populace should never work in favor of a proprietary API. Of course, D3D is proprietary but wtf can we do about that really when the people who run the alternatives don't really care that much about games anyway.

Click to expand...

Physics (not Physx) is going to become a big part of directX 11.

Whether or not we'll need to find small DX11 cards or current CUDA based cards will suffice to power that, i do not know.
