NVIDIA to Acquire AGEIA Technologies

Nvidia who makes the best graphic cards in the world (in my own opinion) is now taking a shortcut to nice physics with the definitive agreement to acquire AGEIA Technologies, Inc., the industry leader in gaming physics technology.

"The AGEIA team is world class, and is passionate about the same thing we are—creating the most amazing and captivating game experiences," stated Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO of NVIDIA. "By combining the teams that created the world's most pervasive GPU and physics engine brands, we can now bring GeForce®-accelerated PhysX to hundreds of millions of gamers around the world."

"NVIDIA is the perfect fit for us. They have the world's best parallel computing technology and are the thought leaders in GPUs and gaming. We are united by a common culture based on a passion for innovating and driving the consumer experience," said Manju Hegde, co-founder and CEO of AGEIA.

    This is indeed a major development -- especially for physics-based games. I'll be waiting to see what comes of this for sure. :)
