i recieved a physics card with my dell xps 720, think i should take it out

3d mark score

12001 with physics card

12556 without physics card
 
Never, I repeat never use 3dmark to judge a computers performance in games.

Try a few games you play with and without the physics card and then decide.

You might find your 3dmark score may be lower but the framerate in every game higher( note I only said might ;))

All I'm saying is try first before rushing into rash decisions. You still might find that the physics card is not worth it and hence sell it.
 
Its value on the second hand idiot market (otherwise known as ebay) is probubly more than its value to you in games
 
PPU's have no impact on 3dmark. Try running more tests perhaps something else is causeing the drop. How could a PCI card not running lower your score? 3Dmark does jump about a bit between runs.

thats the game list."

That’s only a small part of the game list. Stupid Ageia PR people who have no idea how to market a product. Who’s bright idea was it to remove games and put up a small list on their website? The old website has more games than that.
