PhysX P1 card

Features: Graphics solutions provider ASUSTeK Computer Inc. has

introduced the PhysX P1 card, which adopted Ageia's all-new PhysX Processing

Unit (PPU) to take gamers to a completely new level of video realism.






Currently, only two companies have the capability to develop PPU cards, and ASUS
is one of the pioneers. The PhysX P1 card is now available worldwide, an ASUS

statement said.






In a gaming system, the CPU drives game AI and logic, while the GPU delivers
three-dimensional visual representation. The PPU takes gaming to the next level

with better dynamic motion and interaction.

By bringing the laws of physics into video performance, systems with the PhysX
P1 card can now offer enhanced realism for explosions, flying debris, liquid

flows, water splashes and movements influenced by wind. No two motions will be

the same, which means no more canned animations and predetermined interaction.






“The PhysX P1 card is first to leverage the PhysX core that optimized
specifically for dynamic large-scale, physics processing,” says Kent Chien,

director of ASUS graphics and multimedia business. “This new video technology

accelerates real-time physical motion and interaction at a scale far beyond

those of CPUs and GPUs.”






With the list of growing PhysX accelerated games poised to hit the stores this
year, players need to equip themselves with the most advanced graphics

technology to experience gaming realism that not only looks real but acts and

feels real as well.






According to Amit Jaokar, technical promotion manager, ASUS India, “ PPU would
change the entire tradition of PC Gaming as it has created a new category of its

as a unique PC component dedicated to bring realism in games.”
