Now, Physics Processing Joins Forces for the Most Realistic Gaming Experience Ever!

PhysX by Ageia

First-Ever Physics Processing Unit

The two most important components of a gaming system have traditionally been the central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU). Now, the most revolutionary PC gaming technology since the 3D graphics card has been added to Alienware systems to dramatically improve gameplay realism: AGEIA PhysX™. As the world’s first physics processing unit, the PhysX processor is now available on Alienware’s Area-51 7500, Aurora 7500, and ALX systems, combining with the CPU and GPU to permanently transform how you experience games.

Improved Physical Motion and Interaction

Greatly accelerating the scale and quality of real-time physics, the PhysX processor significantly improves physical motion and interaction during gameplay. The PhysX processor takes advantage of the AGEIA physics code built into PhysX-enabled games to elevate gaming realism in areas that were previously unattainable.

Amazing Special Effects

The PhysX processor adds incredibly authentic details to numerous visual effects throughout the environments of PhysX-enabled games. Here are a few examples:

  • Massive explosions scatter debris into tens of thousands of pieces.
  • Fluids of all types flow more realistically.
  • Smoke, fog and dust interact uniquely with other game elements.
  • Canned animations and predetermined interactions are replaced so you never have the same experience twice.

Blazing-Fast Frame Rates

The PhysX processor frees up in-game CPU cycles for additional gaming or non-gaming use. It also enables enhanced game physics while simultaneously maintaining the blazing-fast frame rates of Alienware systems that do not have a physics processing processor.
