Partners since May, 2005; ASUS and AGEIA Technologies, Inc. have been working together to develop a totally new category in PC hardware - the physics accelerator card, providing unprecedented realism and immersion for avid PC gamers. The new ASUS card is capable of delivering a completely new gaming experience with dramatic, real-time physical motion and interaction that will change the way we play games forever.

Today, over 60 developers are planning and creating more than 100 games that will take advantage of the new physics processor.

“Physics acceleration will do for dynamic game play what graphics cards did for the way games look,” said Kent Chien, Manager of the Multimedia Department for ASUS.  “We are excited to be at the forefront of this hardware wave where we can envision the cards becoming as important to games as graphics cards are today.”
