At this stage no. An Ageia based Physics card will not offer any benifit to Crysis nor majority of other games. Crysis I belive uses there own Physics engine, not Ageia nor Havoc, however there was talk of 1, Crytek offering support to PPU add on cards with there engine, and 2, of Ageia tring to provide a legacy mode that would allow the PPU functions to work with any major physics engines.
However, as ATi is looking (maybe completed now) at buying out Ageia, there has been no confirmation of the expected development plans as yet.
The biggest issue with PPU based solutions, is there still is not a unified driver set for dealing with physics processing, untill games come standard with Unified PPU functionality I can't see solutions like Ageia becoming any more popular.
