We just got wind of the latest agreement that nVidia has just signed. The visual computing technologies company, popular for their video cards, has just released information that they have signed a definite agreement to acquire Ageia Technologies, Inc.

With this news, nVidia is definitely making is gearing up for something big, maybe the fact that the company has made plans of making an FPS game.

It seems that this move is considered a good step by both companies. Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO of nVidia said that Ageia team "is world class, and is passionate about the same thing we areÂ—creating the most amazing and captivating game experiences."

Manju Hegde, co-founder and CEO of Ageia, also shared his thoughts regarding this newly found relationship. He commented:

nVidia is the perfect fit for us. They have the world's best parallel computing technology and are the thought leaders in GPUs and gaming. We are united by a common culture based on a passion for innovating and driving the consumer experience.

Huang added that by combining both teams, they'll be able to bring the Ge-Force-accelerated PhsyX to gamers around the world. Now, this is definitely something to look forward to in the coming months.

Excellent, I really want one of those cards, and in Nvidias hands its bound become a whole lot more available and generally known in the gaming community, which mean developers will start incorperating it alot more, don't get me wrong it has been getting used, but this will make it alot more widespread. And maybe even cheaper, although it isn't expensive anyway but cheaper is always better.

I suppose we'll being seeing more pretty graphics, very nice physics, and smoother framerates in the future.

Oh. My. God. Go for it NVIDIA. I'll need another job to get a new card with both GPU and PPU technologies on it.
