I think the point is we really shouldn't assume anything at this point.
The crutch between Ageia and Havok right now will be the games that use those physics engines and benefit from physics acceleration.
If game A uses Havok FX and accelerates on your GPU it won't accelerate on Ageias PPU meaning your PPU is sitting there useless.
So really it is up to the games you will be playing.
Let's take this announcement for what it is, a tech preview of what will be possible.
We need games to be delivered to see what the real-world benefits actually are.
