My advice, dont get it at all. Hardly any games support it and in all honesty youd be wasting your money.

Have to agree about the PhysX card, expensive paperweights at present, and id edit out the competitor to.

ASUS PHYSX P1 cards used to have twice as much ram but BFG asked them to label them as the same as BFG cards and once stock was out only produce low ram modules.

Few game support the PPU but it’s worth it when it works. Just the FPS boost can be worth it. With games being faster like UT or GRAW 2 its not useless and games like GRAW 2 look better with a PPU.

It may be worth it when it works......

....I used to have a friend with a go-kart that was always in the garage and he said it was awesome to drive when it was running. I lived next to him for years and never saw the thing run a single time.
