EVGA Releases a Video Card with Co-Op, Physics-Only GPU

While EVGA has had a CO-OP line of video cards for a while now, their latest edition to the dual GPU lineup is something a bit unique.  Instead of allowing SLI on a single card like most of the other co-op cards, the GTX 275 CO-OP uses a GTX 275 GPU for graphics and a GTS 250 GPU for PhysX support.  PhysX allows the GPU to do advance physics processing and effects.

The advantage of this in this case, is it allows EVGA to make a cheaper card with PhysX support, and not force people to get a much more expensive full dual GPU card.  Still at $350 it's no small chunk of change.  I vote they bundle in a solid co-op game with PhysX support like Sacred 2: Fallen Angel.

So would this be instead of using two graphics cards? Or is this just a beastly card that you'd connect to a second (probably) weaker one?

No, this card is two cards in one. So no need for a second.

Ah, that's cool. I am looking to build a PC in the coming months. This sounds like a good purchase.

so let's take a picture out of a game and slap it on the shell of the card that has absolutely nothing to do with co-op...

Arkham Asylum uses PhysX. The card supports PhysX. Ergo...

now if only pc games would support splitscreen co-op, i have 4 360 controllers and soon a pc receiver for all 4, most pc's are more powerful than consoles anyways, also i play on a 1680x1050 projector so consoles meager 600p just doesnt cut it

i have a blast playing games like trine and old emulated stuff split screen, i prefer pc for pretty much everything
