Fairly new chip that makes physics in a game or any CG more realistic.
Quote:
PhysX is the world's first Physics Processing Unit (PPU), an entirely new category of processor that promises to revolutionize gaming in the same way that the graphics processing unit (GPU) did in the 1990s. By offloading software physics processing from the CPU and GPU, the PPU completes the triangle of gameplay, graphics and physics, balancing the load of these processing tasks and enabling pervasive interactive reality in tomorrow's games.

They have this 15mb program that shows how realistic
things will be with this chip. I, myself spent about 2 hours
playing around with it, its incredible. I recommend you
download it and see it for yourself, its really worth it.
The name of the program is
"Rocket".
You can click abuve or come
here to download it.
