Hmm... so the PhysX gives you extra grit, right?

lol, yeh you could put it like that, but if i'm to play devils advocate a little bit, if your going to blame anyone for the *grit* then I think we should blame Ubisoft, it is after all thier game, the physics in GRAW are essentially Havok, the extra physics we are seeing from using the physX PPU are just a bolt on.

This is old news but I see this as the only solution to this problem
