xpresso: the chip is not needed for the physics only less power by software, and appear all new games is including the physx engine(ageia), I think if less expensive that other
Doug: Thanks for the answer, I think ageia like money for every game you sell, but I don't know the conditions for conitec for include in gamestudio
sorry by my english

The hardware is also extremely new so very few systems would have such hardware available. Only hardcore gamers would likely have it by now. With a new type of hardware, the bugs need to be worked out as well. However, disabling the requirement of having physics through a commandline would be the next best option. Just as sound can be disabled by adding -os in the command line, the use of a physics card could be disabled by adding -op in a similar sense. After a few months (or about a year), then looking into such hardware being incorporated into Gamestudio could be possible.

Then you have to pay $50k to use the non-hardware version of PhysX.
Or we can keep our physics engine and add the option to use PhysX, allowing you to select which one you use. But that would cost us a great deal of time and money, and very few users would be able to use it.
If you *really* want to use PhysX, you could add it yourself just like you can add Newton. Download the SDK and have fun. But I don't think Conitec can make this part of our engine without some crazy legal work.
