nVidia acquired PhysX a few months back, promising hardware support for physics processing on it’s 8-series and above GPUs. The first game to feature nVidia’s new release (to my knowledge, anyway) is Brothers In Arms - Hell’s Highway.

For those of you who don’t know what that means, basically from here on out, whenever you play a PhysX-enabled game, if you have a Geforce GPU of 8 or higher series, your FPS will be much higher!

Update: Note that this, through personal experience, does not apply to Geforce M GPUs. I.E., if you have a Geforce 8 laptop, it will not hardware accelerate your physics.
