Nvidia has been pushing its PhysX technology as a way to increase realism in games and intensify the gaming experience. As more game developers sign on to use the physics processing engine we're going to begin to see the effects of their labors such as the upcoming Mirror's Edge for the PC. We have a good mixture of review items in today's roundup from around the web. For cooling, the V8 from Cooler Master shows a lot of promise (reviewed by OCC here). We also get another look at the Core i7 processor technology and performance (you can find the OCC review here). A quick check of the rest of today's lineup includes the NZXT Kaos case, Foxconn's A7DA-S AMD 790GX motherboard, a DDR3 1333 memory kit from Crucial and much more.
