A BFG Physx card. PhysX is an open-source [1] realtime physics engine middleware SDK developed by Nvidia as part of the Nvidia GameWorks software suite.. Initially, video games supporting PhysX were meant to be accelerated by PhysX PPU (expansion cards designed by Ageia).
But in March 2008, Nvidia announced that it will make PhysX an open standard for everyone, [8] so the main graphic-processor manufacturers will have PhysX support in the next generation graphics cards. Nvidia announced that PhysX will also be available for some of their released graphics cards just by downloading some new drivers.
Ageia, founded in 2002, was a fabless semiconductor company.In 2004, Ageia acquired NovodeX, the company who created PhysX – a Physics Processing Unit chip capable of performing game physics calculations much faster than general purpose CPUs; they also licensed out the PhysX SDK (formerly NovodeX SDK), a large physics middleware library for game production.
