Ageia PhysX woth getting?

I am thinking roughly getting one but I don't know if it is really worth the $150. Any opinions?

Ageia PhysX woth getting?

If you are a gamer and enjoy a video card under the Nvidia 8000 series, and underneath the Radeon x2000 series, I would definitely recommend it. If you play games that support it (Joint Task Force, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter) it will look more amazing. Not with the sole purpose does it make and tag on more VRam to your Video Card (128MB from Ageia + 256/512/768/1GB from Video card) it adds added effects to your game (more particle, explosions). If you have DX10, and one of the few I planned, then don't mind it. They are utilizing those for the processing. but if you own below any of those versions, it is other.
PhysX cards are definitely a awesome piece, but there's not many games out right very soon (to my knowledge) that make use of them. If it be me, I'd wait a few more months at tiniest, and then bring back one. But that's just me. :)
It's a big hang about and see. PhysX chips make for amazing graphics contained by the games that support them, BUT (and it's a big but) from what I understand, DirectX 10 is making use of confident GPUs for the same purpose (nVidia 8000 series, Radeon x2000 series). So if you're running Vista and this holds true, I'd spend the money on a two of a kind of awesome video cards instead.

It could be worth it if the new releases of your favorites games truly utilize the technology to the fullest.
from what i hear most game manufacters arent going to even do anything near that so id enunciate no because itll be useless just use that $120 to procure a $120 better graphics card
