Not that i like to agree with the boner, but i think he's right here...kinda...Offloaded physics have been something people have been asking for for a LONG time. I think its more likely to be added to motherboards than videocards. What it feels like, is the 1st gen 3D Acceleration cards. (You guys remember monster 3D, etc add-on cards, that you'd loop your video card to?)
Your first gen will be an add-on card, but in very short order (ie. ati/nvidia running new lines, or MB manufacturers doing same) you will see it on the card/board itself. (Think about modern AES chips and such going onto boards just to offload crypto/ssl load)
