If priced cheaper, and the software for the PhysX card was solid, as well as supporting applications, it wouldn't be bad for those on a budget. However, it is priced too high, and another GPU can go above and beyond what the PhysX card is capable of, not to mention that it was released without any software support at all.... There might be SOME support now, but I would be willing to bet that it is still minimal.
