"Lost Legacy"
If you thought the release of the 5000 series of Nvidia graphics couldn't get any worse, it has been revealed that the new generation of graphics cards will no longer support older, 32-bit legacy Physx games.

Being overpriced, underperforming, missing RoP's, in limited stock and allegedly melting power cables (again), plus having launch day (week... month) broken drivers, it boggles the mind as to why anyone has even entertained purchasing one of these dumpster fire 5000 series cards. Now, we can add to it that Nvidia have effectively given up on older games such as 'Batman Arkham Asylum', 'Borderlands 2' and 'Metro 2033' to name but a few.
Nvidia seem hellbent on tanking their once good reputation to the point that if you told me they had been bought out by a Bond villain, I'd believe you.
Although you may be able to push the work onto your CPU and possibly even add a second GPU to handle Physx alone, it's just another bump in the road to consumers.
Just another reason in a long line of reasons to consider your options well before going for a product from Team Green (or Greed?) this generation.
AMD. Are you watching? This is your chance. Don't blow it!
