nVidia PhysX driver due August 12

On August 12, nVidia is due to finally release the PhysX driver they have been talking about for some time now. The implementation that is covered in the article below seems to be very flexible and robust.
PhysX by NVIDIA - A review of what to expect

With WAR being part of the nVidia TWIMTBP program I wonder if they have included the option to enable PhysX in the game? I would presume that nVidia would have made Mythic aware of the potential and perhaps they have done so.

I know that the Mythic heads have hinted there are a couple more things they are waiting on before dropping the NDA and the timing has me wondering if PhysX capability is one of those items. I seem to recall from some article/video in the past that there was mention made about it as a game feature but it has been quite a while so I may be mistaken. If they have incorporated it into the game engine, then based upon what I am reading in that article I will be picking up another GPU and enabling the SLI on my mobo.

Also nVidia is helping a former hack patch guy to bring unofficial nVidia physx support to aTi cards.

I hope that happens, I just ordered a 4850.

I really hope they add physics to WAR and port it to ATI. I want my cloak swaying in the wind. And the trees moving back and forth and the water bouncing off the rocks on the shore when the tide comes in and the bloo oh wait its a T game >< why couldn't they have made it M ><. I want the blood of order flowing out from there head forming a little stream to wash my hands in.
