In benchmarks games with hw acc are usally even slower than without but show some particles more. Maybe nv wants to add it to the core gfx chips as extra goodie, but then hopefully with higher clockrate than the addon boards.

You can clearly see it from ETQW performance on Vista and Linux.
Or even better example would be WoW running much better in Cedega then in XP.
The problem is publishers.
windows was good for ;-)
DirectX is still a rather convenient all-in-one solution for all your Graphics, Input and Audio needs
(desping it having a rather awkwark programming interface).
More on topic: I still don't understand what that Ageia card is useful for (despite milking another $200 out of the idiot crowd). I doubt anyone will notice the difference in particle trajectories calculated by a CPU or that Ageia thing...

can someone explain to me how PPU is going to be supported in UT3 under the linux client when there is no PPU driver?
I don't see how an SDK changes this fundamental fact.....

this news, in my opinion, is a good one for linux community, regardless of nvidia opensourcing or not.
