It's not the most important thing but something to look forward to as time passes. As with anything it may take content and maturity to change minds about the prospect of GPU Physics to some mind-sets.
The way I look at is it's free and adds more value and doesn't suck to have the ability...
No, actually, all it was-was an article to let others know that they're contemplating porting PhysX to OpenCL. That's all it was. No, spurring about CL development all of sudden or trying to save the industry. Not Jen-Hsun Huang wearing nVidia green tights and waving cape with his new...
What I never did understand is why some had trouble believing that nVidia strongly is behind open standards considering Neil Trevett is the President of Khronos Group:

It takes time and doesn't happen over night but here are a few examples in Sacred 2, best seen in HQ to see the effects:

Here is another area that some can look at the PhysX/Cuda Videos from GDC, etc.. and there are quite a few in here:

A bit off-topic:
nVidia considering Porting PhysX to OpenCL: certainly may drum up some additional conversation.

edit:
Sorry Zogrim!:)
One of areas that is neat is over-all views to me. Not scientific or ideal but computerbase.de's reviews offer an over-all performance gauge based on a solid sampling.
The 9800 GT may be compared to a GTS-250:

Also, the added ram...
I'm not a fan of name-changes because of confusion, but to create a more Cuda/PhysX branding or recognition is not a bad idea in the big picture and hopefully moving forward, nVidia's naming will be less complicated for the consumer.
The key to some is using older tech but it still delivers...
