Help with setup / Phsyx

[mast3r]

Hello All,

Tomorrow i will be getting my hands on my GTX570 and spend the day with my PC in the ManCave (only if the wife would let me get away with it!!!)

At present i have a pair of 8800GTX's with full water-blocks, would it be worth me keeping one of these cards in as a Phsyx card?

Thanks.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

One guy in here states, "I tried PhysX with a 5850 and a 8800GTX. Not worth it.makes everything hotter, doesn't even do that much. Slight difference in Mafia II but not much. better to o/c ur 5850".

Hope that helps.

Happy Xmas

Not worth it for a 8800GTX because it is a fair high power consumption and 90nm process hot running card. If you had a 8800GT/9800GT/GTS250 (which require no more than one 6pin PCI-E power), then it might worth consider.

IF you really want to try PhysX, may be sell off your 8800GTXs, and get a 9800GT (require one PCI-E 6pin power) or a 9800GT Green (only need the PCI-E slot for powering the card)?
