It processes the physics, it tells the GPU where stuff goes and what it looks like, but the GPU has to render it

Throw in Crossfire cards and you need a nw PSU, there are only a couple PSU capable of running Crossfire.

Seems as though PPU are extremely high-end. I'll be buying one eventually.

Im sure the prices will go down once more cards are bought, after all Ageia is a relatively small company so it must be expensive to produce them
