What was your first impressions of PhysX (Mafia II)

But I pointed out that the same people thought it was a joke when it was owned by Ageia. Additionally, bitterness? :confused:

I'm not sure what you're trying to say Kyle, I'm talking about the here and now, not prior to Nvidia buying Ageia. I'm simply not interested in what happened a couple of years ago.

I know that's not what you're talking about, my point was that I think PhysX is rubbish because it is, not because nVidia now own it. I've thought it was rubbish when Ageia owned it. I keep saying this but you're claiming I don't like PhysX because it's owned by nVidia. You can't keep saying that now that I've pointed out it's not the case.

I think PhysX is broken regardless of who owns it. nVidia owning PhysX is a completely separate "issue".

Fair enough then, I apologise :) But what was the last title you played with PhysX implemented properly on?
 
Tell you what it is, it's as if the only thing being calculated on my 480 is the lame physx effects hence 20-30% GPU usage, must be real intelligent engineers at Nvidia.
 
Mafia 2 doesn't even get my GTX470 over 66C and can't hear the fan... infact the only time its noisey is if I run furmark - which does produce a quite noticeable whuuussh from the fan, nothing else I've tried so far makes it warm or noisey.

You overclocking though Rroff? I'm running mine oc'd a little, I thought you were still on your Gigabyte 260s anyway??
 
Mine's running at 823/1647/1900, I'm also thinking I probably need to do a de-fluff of my system tbh, haven't had it open since installing my 480 back in April :eek:

How you finding the new card? I guess it's probably similar to your 260s in SLi maybe a tad slower?
 
Not had it long enough to form any firm impressions... out the box it was defintely slower than my overclocked GTX260 SLI setup but still in the same ballpark (roughly equivalent to GTX260 SLI at stock). With overclock it catches it up. In some stuff its quite a bit faster in others about the same.

Had it clocked at 800/1600/2000 but had one lockup during testing (think prolly VRAM too high) but don't have time atm to fine test it properly so whacked it back to 750/1500 where it seems stable - not bad seeing its 607MHz out the box.

Then people should bitch at the developers to get their act together not at the API.

But when it's nVidia regularly implementing it, what do you expect? People are gonna say it's them when they're making it he way it is. The implementation of it is what people are going to complain about, and to most people that's still "PhysX".
