A physic card basically takes the load off the CPU as far as working out in-game physics. So you buy a CPU, a graphics card AND a physics card. I believe they're gonna be similarly priced to graphics cards with high-end and low-end options ($100-300). It's supposed to allow more detail on screen as well as more realistic…

Now that i think of it, its a bit dumb. GPU for graphics, PPU for physics, SPU for sound. What about your CPU? Seems a bit pointless. Is your CPU just going to tell everything where to go? Seems quite the waste...
