Waste of time, money and a PCI slot imo. Only works with a handful of games (GRAW 1 + 2 and a couple more) and makes little difference tbh.

From your second link....This answers your own question, yes?

Honestly, the landscape looks rather bleak from my view. With no major titles adding support for PhysX and nothing dramatic or revolutionary having been accomplished with Ghost Recon or City of Villians, gamers have little reason to want a PhysX card.

Final Thoughts

The Asus PhysX P1 accelerator card is the best option available for dedicated hardware physics powered by AGEIA. If the platform itself were more exciting or the outlook for upcoming PhysX titles was more appealing, I might be able to recommend that gamers buy one up while stock is plentiful. Unfortunately, that is not the case, and as such its hard to get excited about a $250 upgrade that isn't doing much.
