Nvidia physics really done by Ageiea ?

All this says is that Nvidia used a PC with a PhysX card in it at a trade show. Anything else is speculation.

NVidia certainly has no mature and proven physics solution using a GPU, so Ageia PhysX is the only way at this time to make supporting games display more particles and physics realism, hence look much better. Nvidia want to show thier graphics product in the best light and PhysX helps. That's all that I would conclude from the article.

Clearly just using PhysX to help their demos. Its not exactly a good idea to use hardware/software that isn't production ready (NV's physics) at a public event where a crash is embarassing at best.

Its widely known NV's physics accelerates the Havok physics engine. Havok is used in most games that use physics (like HL2, UT). Of course the game has to support it too.
