CUDA and PhysX for BoB?

[Codex]

Will we have it? Good or bad?

I don't know if Oleg has stated if he would be using propriety physics API. I think he's coded is own.

As for PhysX...it was doomed from the start in terms of having a dedicated physics card. We now have quad core CPU's and GPU's that can crunch numbers via stream processing quicker than a Intel QX9770, why would you want to spend $$$ on a dedicated card?

This acquisition by nVidia might be Ageia's saving grace to keep the API alive, only problem I see is that the API may become hardware specific and that would be bad as Havok FX is not hardware specific and they've been around since Half Life 1.
