No, it's not GPU-based because it does not use GPU-accelerated PhysX. Without running on the GPU, it's nothing more than a physics engine that will run entirely on the CPU. A lot of games, especially MMO's, tend to be far more CPU-bound as opposed to GPU-bound.
The following games are the only ones which utilize GPU-accelerated PhysX:
7554
Alice
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham City
Crazy Machines II
Cryostasis
Dark Void
Darkest of Days
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter II
Hot Dance Party
Mafia II
Metal Knight Zero Online
Metro 2033
Mirror’s Edge
Nurien
PT Boats: Knights of the Sea
Sacred 2
Star Tales
Unreal Tournament 3
U-WARS
Warmongers: ODD
On ANY other game (include PS2), PhysX will run identically on an AMD card as compared to an NVIDIA card because it will be run on the processor, not the graphics card. They're both great companies, so stop worrying. For Planetside, your i5 will likely be more important than whatever your video card is.
