Phisx borderlands?

So I got a question.

I got my 660ti playing borderlands 2 and I am loving the phisx:)

My friend has the game and is playing it on a amd 6950 and still has all the phisx the exact same as I do.

So what is the difference?
 
There's GPU PhysX, and there's general PhysX, it sounds like you've either not got GPU PhysX enabled, or something's changed and they've dropped GPU PhysX. I think it's more likely to be that you've not got GPU PhysX enabled though.

I have definetely got the phisx on and have every thing that in the video and more.

:S weird I believed only nVidia cards could do PhysX. Are you sure his is doing physX?

Yes we both definetely got it and he is definetely on a amd xfx 6950 and i5 2500k.

There is an option that says phisx low medium or high and we both have it on high and both can see the exact same things on the screen and both getting 60fps.

I don't really understand all the videos advertising phisx if people are still running it fine on there amds so could someone clear it up for me I a bit confused.

How interesting, I thought nVidia had stopped allowing full on PhysX from working on the CPU, maybe Gearbox saw to that or something?

Interestingly, that video very clearly claims you won't actually get those effects unless you have a "GeForce GTX".

You have never needed a nvidia card for physx. ANY game with physx you can have it offloaded to the cpu instead taking a identical performance hit as if I had a Nvidia card, less actually. See Physx on cpu sucked back on dual and single cores. Now adays with 4-12core cpus its not a issue. So dont buy into the Nvidia hype. You have never needed a nvidia card for physx, nor will you ever. Game devs just lock the option out for us AMD guys but a simple ini change fixes that. Enjoy!

Search for:

PhysXLevel

Change

PhysXLevel=0 (low)

to either:

PhysXLevel=1 (mid)

or

PhysXLevel=2 (high)


For those wondering I have a 6850 with a i5 2500k
