I was playing around with beignet today, and it made me think that an inactive integrated GPU would make a really decent physics co-processor and would be able to increase the amount of phys objects in a game. If no one is doing this, it would be a really neat thing to implement in an engine.

isn't beignet for linux only? Does Windows have an equivalent?

well if you did that your engine would only work with intel chips, and probably only specific integrated gpu's. it would be neat to use the extra grunt in whatever zen is going to have though, it'll probably be more multi-purpose capable.

You can just check to see if an integrated GPU exists and use it if possible. Probably a lot more annoying to program that though.
