Heh, that's one way of getting the code to run physics on a SLi system for cheap.

Cuda!! Dude!!
You're a star!!!

The computer industry is moving towards a heterogeneous computing model, combining a flexible CPU and a massively parallel processor like the GPU to perform computationally intensive applications like real-time computer graphics,\" continued Mr. Huang. \"NVIDIA's CUDA™ technology, which is rapidly becoming the most pervasive parallel programming environment in history, broadens the parallel processing world to hundreds of applications desperate for a giant step in computational performance. Applications such as physics, computer vision, and video/image processing are enabled through CUDA and heterogeneous computing.\"

Now with both of its major rivals (Intel & Nvidia) having acquired a physics processor company I wonder how AMD is going to respond. Will they develop a dedicated physics processor, or will they continue to use an additional crossfire GPU to do it...

Financially AMD isn't doing as well as it would like.
