tain Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 That requires a new card. It is hardware-based physics acceleration. You probably shouldn't install the software if you don't have a card. I haven't read anything about it helping without the hardware. You would probably know if you had such a card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azion Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 As Tain said it's a hardware phsics accelerator, only a new technology, about 2 or 3 months old. It has take off yet, but it's slowly building up. I installed the software with GRAW and I didn't notice any differnece without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I remember that I tried playing GRAW with the AGEIA installed and then without it. Same thing. It is only valuable if you have the AGEIA card in your rig. New technology though, yet to be implemented (just look at the prices of such a card...)

tain Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Because i don't know if i should uninstall it or leave it installed ?Based on Azion and nitroshift's experiences, you may as well uninstall it since it doesn't do anything for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
