BFG Technologies Will Manufacture AGEIA PhysX Cards
AGEIA and BFG Technologies have inked a retail distribution agreement for the PhysX processor. Under the contract, BFG Technologies will manufacture, sell, market and distribute personal computer add-in cards powered by the AGEIA PhysX? processor to retail, e-tail and distributors in the United States, Canada and the European Union member states. We tried reaching BFG Technologies for comment, but no one was available to take our call.
AGEIA?s PhysX chip defines an entirely new category of processor: the physics processing unit that, when coupled with the PhysX SDK, provides cost-effective hardware acceleration of physical interactions within a game environment, such as fluid dynamics and rigid body dynamics. The result will re-ignite the enthusiasm of gamers and game creators alike, and has the potential to propel physics technology into unexplored new markets. BFG Technologies plans to offer stand-alone PCI cards with the AGEIA PhysX processor and 128MB of local memory, which is used for storing and processing physics data during game play. Products will be available at the end of this year. Pricing and other product details will be announced at that time.
