"I decided to test this out for myself, and put my GTS 250 into my rig to see what the Physx would look like in CoH. Still couldn't enable the actual Physx option in game. After doing some digging around on the COH forums, it turns out that the game uses such an old version of Physx that it will only run on an actual Aegia card using the actual Aegia drivers. So, for anyone who is running the game on cards newer than the 8 series, going with the Aegia card is just likely to reduce your overall performance for only a minimal amount of increased eye candy; as, by all accounts of those who used the card, the Physx boost in CoH was so minuscule that paying anything for the Aegia card to have Physx in CoH was a ripoff."
