Good news for gamers, Asus has announced the PhysX P1 card which uses Ageia’s all-new PhysX Processing Unit (PPU) to take gamers to a completely new level of video realism. In a gaming system, the CPU (Central Processing Unit) drives game AI and logic, while the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) delivers beautiful three-dimensional visual representation. The PPU takes gaming to the next level with never-seen-before 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,” said 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.

The Asus PhysX P1 will be available with retailers soon pricing is not known yet.
