Dedicated physX

[bigjimmyauk]

So who uses it and what are your thoughts on it?

just read a blog by a guy who put a 650 with his two titans and in some games it did make a difference.

Would it be worth sticking something like a 750ti with a 980 (750ti for physX) i'm using this as an example of having a spare card laying around after upgrading, not deliberately setting out your way to go buy a physX card (unless your names kaapstaad and you probably have a titan for PhysX lol, hope you read that )

I find the whole thing rather confusing.

Nope. Newer cards can handle both no problem

but the blog i read the guy put a 650 with titan sli and it actually made a big impact to some games average frame rates. thats what i find confusing as there is no general consensus.

What increases did he get? Could you link to the tests/findings?

From what I've seen it doesn't make an appreciable difference, but I've not tried it first-hand.

Might be worthwhile sticking a cheap card in if you're playing Borderlands or other PhysX heavy titles a lot.

Otherwise no.

Thats what i was thinking i remember batman arkham city was heavy on physx
