the PhysX card is not used by any of the Flight Simulator sims.

the PhysX card is pretty much useless unless u actually have games that support it, which are few in number (something like 10).

FS Water Configurator+ has new modifications in the works, plus DirectX 10, Service Pack
1, and Radeon HD 3+ Series support.

Barely anything supports, it actually lowers frames in most games, and the R600 and G81 cores have a PhysX built in.

Have a look at this.

I'm not too impressed by these things. That, plus the fact they only support some crappy games doesn't make me want to buy one...  :-/

They mess things up severely by giving objects weight, then they balance in really un-realistic positions.  Also if you play a multiplayer game the physics will sometimes turn off completely stopping anything moving because not everyone has a physx card.

Not worth it in my opinion.
