OcUK GT 430/GT 440 as a dedicated PhysX card?

[CatWarrior]

Think its a good idea?
The power consumption is nice and low, So I can fit it in with my current build, And its a newer card, So I don't see any potential problems?

There isnt much stuff on google about it, And the little amount of information that I found, Says that its ok but better if you OC it >_>


Opinions? ;3

Any of the two cards will do nicely, but do you really need PhysX? What's your current spec and what games do you play that uses PhysX?

 

[CatWarrior]

Current spec will be (Very soon, Come on Asus B3 3:!)

Intel I5 2400 (Coolermaster Hyper TX3 Cooler)
G Skill Ripjaws X (2x2Gig Dual channel kit @ 1600 Mhz & 9-9-9-24 Latency)
Asus P8P67 LE (When the Revised boards come out)
GTX 560 SOC (From Gigabyte, Core clock is at 1Ghz :3!)
HDD is a Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
Disk drive is a Samsung S223C
Coolermaster GX 650W PSU

And I play lots of Metro (3rd Playthrough :3) And lots of high end games, Benchmarking and hopefully will be able to play Crysis 2 at Max settings (30FPS+ at all times), And future games at highest or high settings (I like my graphics to be nice if you didnt notice :3)

Then I would say just stick with the 560. And get a 2500K instead and overclock it .

 

[CatWarrior]

I already have the processor though
Same as with the majority of the parts, Only thing I dont have is the mobo >_>

Very few games actually take advantage of PhysX. In Crysis, for example, your PhysX card would be totally wasted.

 

[CatWarrior]

I mean Crysis 2 >_>
Hopefully that will be a fully fledged PhysX
Other than that I have few other games that support it (Mirrors edge, Mafia 2 and Metro + a few others), Though I think that even taking a little bit of the load off of my CPU or GPU is nice.

Honestly, I think a 560 in SLi is more worthwhile.

This. I would only bother with physx if you have an old spare card lying around
