Here's your first glimpse at the PPU card.

[HAVOC]

ASUS & BFG will be the first out of the box to put the PPU cards on the market.
Consumer card:

Reference Card:

Also i was reading in CPU magazine that ASUS is also developing a motherboard with the Ageia Physx PPU built into the board.
I haven't been able to find any images of that yet... may-be soon.

I'm a bit slow, is that a graphics card, that doesn't have any DVI/VGA outputs?

 

[Sprooty]

Is this card going to be PCI-E or just plain PCI?

becuase my mothernoard only has 1 PCI-e and thas been uses.

It looks like some kind of CPU extension module (?!) for me. But I also have no idea what it really is, so tell us.



Edit:

WOW, it is actually a Physics Processing Unit, I heard once of this being in deep development, nice to hear it's already out!

Here I found an article about it: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20050308-4682.html

Looks like on the second card, it has a PCI X1 slot. Shame if anyone who has SLI (probally the mine buyers) wouldn't be able to take advantageof it.

Anyway, it looks good, and will help for games like HL2 which is very cpu demanding. Probally will be expensive though.

I'm interested in knowing if you can overclock these

I think its an extra. you don't need it right? Works with a graphics card? or by itself?

Where their is a clock their is a way

Yeah, it pretty much works to remove load from the GPU/CPU and deals specifically with physics calculations
