Recently over at NGOHQ some clever dick managed to get PhysX running on an ATI 3850 card.

In the past if you wanted to run dual GPUs on an Intel based motherboard, you'd have to go with ATI hardware, as nVidia have always made a big point of saying you had to go with their chipsets in order to run twin nVidia GPUs.

For years water effects have come on leaps and bounds, and while it might "seem" more real, more often they are complicated moving textures that just seem, like real water; Bioshock was notorious for this.
