@planetside2 Tech question for those of us building PCs soon: Will PhysX be software or hardware based? Will we benefit from Nvidia cards?

Higby's response:
@dmaix @planetside2 when pushing the bounds of the PhysX system, Nvidia hardware will make it run faster. Normal situations, not much diff.

This is why I thought its GPU based for some parts anyway.
That's PR, nothing more nothing less. GPU vendor has no impact on performance if it's run on the CPU. Most game devs get payed by nV for using their proprietary software. Hence why the developers advertise nV in those cases, like the one above. It's part of the TWIMTBP program.
