Hi all,I need to know if physx is important for gaming.You could call me a "Nvidia Fanboy" as that is all I ever buy,At the moment I am planning to upgrade from GTX 260 to either an ATI 5870 or a GTX 470,but the new Nvidia cards don't impress me much.I have been trying to work out what physx actually is by watching a lot of youtube videos,but since ATI don't have physx then why is it that I see smoke,particles,sparks and ragdoll physics in ATI cards.I was just wondering what physx actually does since I see the same things on ATI cards.And will it affect my gaming experience much by just going with an ATI card,will I get all the goodness with ATI,or will I be missing certain visual effects of a game?

Can anyone suggest some basic examples.Thanks
