ASUS PhysX P1: physical accelerator card
Taiwan’s ASUSTeK has unveiled its PhysX P1 card, which includes Ageia’s PhysX Physical Accelerator Unit (PPU).
The performance of PCI-coupled physical accelerators is brand-independent, the same in all cases. The only difference is in the design of the printed circuit board and the heat sink.
