Nvidia started enabling PhysX hardware acceleration on its line of GeForce graphics cards [7] and eventually dropped support for Ageia PPUs. [8] PhysX SDK 3.0 was released in May 2011 and represented a significant rewrite of the SDK, bringing improvements such as more efficient multithreading and a unified code base for all supported platforms.

PhysX: For physics, destruction, particle and fluid simulations. OptiX: For baked lighting and general-purpose ray-tracing. Core SDK: For facilitating development on Nvidia hardware. In addition, the suite contains sample code for DirectX and OpenGL developers, as well as tools for debugging, profiling, optimization, and Android development.
Ageia, founded in 2002, was a fabless semiconductor company.In 2004, Ageia acquired NovodeX, the company who created PhysX – a Physics Processing Unit chip capable of performing game physics calculations much faster than general purpose CPUs; they also licensed out the PhysX SDK (formerly NovodeX SDK), a large physics middleware library for game production.
Bullet is a physics engine which simulates collision detection as well as soft and rigid body dynamics.It has been used in video games and for visual effects in movies. Erwin Coumans, its main author, won a Scientific and Technical Academy Award [4] for his work on Bullet.
The term was coined by Ageia's marketing to describe their PhysX chip to consumers. Several other technologies in the CPU-GPU spectrum have some features in common with it, although Ageia's solution was the only complete one designed, marketed, supported, and placed within a system exclusively as a PPU.

The Ageia PhysX cards were PCIe cards. I got reverted, no clue why, but I got it there again. Please don't revert without proper justification. --uKER 12:08, 30 August 2019 (UTC) Hi, I reverted Your edit. There's no information in referenced article about PhysX cards being PCIe.
The GeForce 10 series is the last Nvidia GPU generation to support Windows 7/8.x or any 32-bit operating system; beginning with the Turing architecture, newer Nvidia GPUs now require a 64-bit operating system. Nvidia has announced plans to wind down developer support for the Pascal architecture, which includes the GTX 10-Series.
