I found a german Ageia PhysX Review:

It's quite disappointing:
In most games they tested (OK, weren't that many) the card didn't improve the performance at all. It looked a bit nicer, but at a considerable lower framerate (unplayable in some cases).
Of course, that may also be a driver-related problem (considering how new that piece of hardware is).

they have already admitted there are driver issues, that have now been resolved

Yeah ajg is correct ... all the games I have tried that use the PhysX card are fine ... :D

Hey Paddy, are you going to make a review about the PhysX card for the forums user review section?

I would love to hear your review, Paddy. I am debating whether I want to get one now or wait a while.

Here's an objective review of the PhysX card:

You really shouldn't buy a PhysX card because it makes the PhysX demos run better. Those are articifial benchmarks which only show the card's potential, but not its real benefit to actual games.

I hope some hardware site makes some benchmarks of Rise of Legends with and without PhysX soon.

don't buy it. i've only heard bad things about it, and it has no future. at e3, nvidia was already showing off how they are going to have the gpu in their future cards take care of the physics way better than this piece of poop. the demonstrations that Nvidia were showing off were simply stunning. just wait...
