PhysX

PhysX is a video game concept

PhysX is a realtime physics engine middleware originally developed by Ageia and now maintained by nVidia. It is the only currently available physics engine that supports hardware acceleration.

On August 12, 2008, NVIDIA released drivers which enable PhysX acceleration for its GeForce 8xxx and 9xxx video cards.

Competition

The major competitor to the PhysX SDK is the Havok  SDK, which is used in more than 150 games, including major titles like Half Life 2 .However, at this point in time Havok does not support hardware physics acceleration. Since Havok's take-over by Intel, AMD and Intel are now concentrating their respective efforts on Havok physics for their respective platforms.
