**Mafia 2 Benchmark thread**

The game that puts the final nail in the Physx coffin, this is jut a scam by Nvidia to get you to go out and buy another high-end GFX card just to run physx, these effect can be run on the CPU but it's obvious that Nvidia is screwing the consumer over with shockingly bad implementation of physx. This is my GPU usage with high physx, roughly 50% but does go down to 13% :eek:why can't the extra 50% of my 480 not be used to render the game, pathetic. The last part of the graph is with physx disabled and usage is now 99%, the clocks on the 480 actually dropped down because of the lack of 3D rendering it was required to do during the high physx benchmark.

All maxed physx high :o GTX 480 840 core



All maxed physx disabled.

Have you tried turning adaptive power off in nvidia control panal and put it on maximum performance ?
 
Cainer, restart the game and run the benchmark one more time to confirm. Post the screenshot of Video settings after benchmarking - they switch back if you don't restart the game after making any changes.

Also, funny to see Nvidia users getting the same scores with PhysX on :D

i had restarted a few times after making the settings due to getting dull screen when exiting and the settings i made had been saved i will double check just for you though :p :)
 
Maybe it's the demo that doesn't implement PhysX well (or at all). The effects are... miserable (there's only more particles flying around) and a huge impact on performance comes from loading it up on the CPU.
 
well my 470 @819MHz gets 7.4fps minimum, 28fps avg and 125fps max @ 1920x1200 with everything maxed except PhysX on medium and AA off

with everything maxed @ 1920x1200 it gets 3.6fps min, 17.2fps avg and 166fps max
