“The chip, named the PhysX, was created by Ageia and is designed to perform the same role that a typical GPU performs for accelerating pixel rendering.” PhysX is a new GPU that will be put in some next-gen consoles and future PC’s. While it will not waist time with “elementary graphics processing,” the PhysX chipset is designed to handle particles, bodys, and life-like human animations. Before, the graphics card handled the physics as well as the physics, but now the two GPUs can share the job and give games twice the processin power.
