Vantage scores with GPU PhysX banned from Hall of Fame

In a more definitive turn of events, benchmark specialist Futuremark has decided that all 3DMark Vantage scores which make use of GPU-accelerated physics to not be accepted in the 3DMark Hall of Fame. Futuremark is thus killing quite a few hopes and dreams as it doesn't allow the user to put its GPU(s) to work in the physics test which, at least for now, remains CPU and/or Ageia PPU territory.

Futuremark's decision seem quite fair in leveling the playing field as only (some) owners of Nvidia GeForce cards can use PhysX and Radeon owners are basically PhysX-less. Still, things could change when GPU-accelerated physics gain popularity.
