A few questions regarding Physx and the 5850...

[Modus]

So I'm building a new system in the next couple of months, and I'm wondering about a few things.

1) Are games where Physx is gamechanging like Batman:AA likely to become more common in the future?

2) If I wanted to get a 5850 now, then later get a weaker Nvidia card for Physx later(8800GT?) what kind of power supply will I be needing?

3) Should I just wait for Fermi? I know info on it is a bit fuzzy, but will it be bigger and eat up more power, or will it offer similar price and specs to the 5850(I would be looking at Nvidias midrange cards)?

1. Doubtful. The backlash that caused is not something publishers enjoy dealing with without compensation.

2. 650 watts + 50 amps.

3. Details aren't concrete but it is expected to be bigger and consume more power. Will likely cost more for equal or better performance. Again, all speculation based on the the previous generation and currently known details.
