AFAIK the AGEIA stuff in CoH is still Beta and still buggy.
AGEIA in CoH in no longer in beta and AnandTech did a test of it: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2828For someone currently using a single-core CPU and working with a limited budget, an upgrade to a dual-core CPU is going to be superior to adding the PhysX card in City of Villains, and it's going to be much more useful in games and applications where the PhysX card can't be used. Similarly, someone with a slower dual-core CPU may not see gains as great going to a faster CPU as they would with a PhysX card, but unless the extra eye-candy and a few frames is what you desire, the faster CPU will still be more useful overall. Ultimately, since City of Villains is CPU limited, the PhysX card is only the best upgrade when a system's CPU performance can't be improved much; otherwise, the effect of the CPU holding back performance is just too great to ignore.
