I'm not really sure how PhysX was a gimmick. It had a weird implementation due to hardware restrictions initially, but is still used today on your bog standard GPS.
It's actually a great example of a tech that had this weird transition period at first, when the hardware wasn't advanced enough to support it by default, and is now just a standard tool to make games look great on average hardware.
