Conclusion

As graphics cards get more powerful, now with upto 4 GPUs capable of running simultaneously there is an insane bottleneck with the CPU. This is where the Ageia card will come into play. However, as it stands there are so few games that support this card that testing at this stage is largely inconclusive, and it will be for some time. Once developers incorporate PPU technology into their games and make it possible for this card to function as it is supposed to I am sure that we will see a wonderful leap in in-game physics, beyond anything we have seen before. However until that time, this card will play little part in enhancing your gaming experience and for the price, I would recommend upgrading your CPU or investing in a better cooling solution and overclocking your current one if you are experiencing CPU bottlenecking.
