Default Re: yay! another computer gaming need! *sarcasm*

This is fairly old, but I'll reply anyway.

Anyway, the feeling I hearing from the development community on this isn't great. It's another technology that's useless unless the game is coded specifically for that use. Also, by coding for the PPU, you're spending time and money for something only a few people own, and it's questionable whether it will ever take off.

The other big question is, would you rather pay for a PPU, or a dual-GPU card? You could code a second processor, either a CPU or GPU to handle just physics, but when it's not in use, you could code it to do other tasks.

I just don't see the PPU doing too hot, unless it becomes embedded in a graphics card.
