Well not totally, yet. I've tested City of Heroes and it won't actually see my card as an ageia physx ppu. I've read that the games must update the physx engine they use. Cellfactor also didn't seem to work with it.

That's kind of odd that the games have to update for them. According to nVidia, you should just be able to use it with any game that supported PhysX.

Have one in my system. Only in it as I got a good price on the PC and the card just happened to be in it. Id say the agiea cards are the biggest waste of money.

well cool game except for the fact you have to have gamespy (crap) installed to find servers.

drivers work nice though.
