Those of you with PhysX cards or old GeForce 8s serving a new purpose have some good news: Mirror's Edge will be PhysX Accelerated. No doubt an already impressive game can be even more impressive when those are enabled!
Aww, I want in on that, but I'm in ATi camp.
I tried running those physx mods on UT3 with just my quad and 4850. That was a nice way to turn 60FPS to 14. =(
I'm wondering what kind of physics effects appear in ME. With all of those movements and you focusing on where the hell you have to go, I think they'll be barely noticeable :c
Watch the video in the linked article.

Why implementing that when the only physics is on the character jumping around? Totally pointless feature under my perspective.
The physics won't really add to the gameplay, but they do look good.
Basicccally yes.Graphics don't add anything to the gameplay either but that hasn't stopped sw or hw developers from pushing it further.
Also afaik nVidia is writing CUDA drivers, integrating PhysX tech for all their new (at least mid/high-high grade) GPUs, only just starting w/ the 8 series.
