What is a Physx Accelerator ?

[sony144]

As the title says I would like to know what this card actually does ? And would there be any point in me buying it with a 7800 GTX 256MB gfx ?

Cheers for the help Mike.

So far all it does is cut your FPS a ridiculous amount.

^ spot on
the idea behind it is to add more advanced physics to games
take alook at this thread to see why the card isn't going down too well

If I understand the principle of it correctly, it's supposed to shaft your game while ruining your wallet at the same time. (I believe it also has similar effects on your PSU, the noise level and indeed your faith in the hardware industry.)

Have you read what happened when [ui]ICEMAN tried to play the demo on his Quad SLI + FX60 combo?

All in all your better off giving £300 to charity so you have a clear conscience AND a high frame rate.

A village gets a new well and you still get to play games ok, everyones a winner.

But... would the well explode in millions of individually unique pieces? I think not!

 

[Magnum_Force]

That would depend on how much C4 explosive you sent with the well, would it not??

Not much replay factor though.

Steer well clear for the time being.

Might be worth getting in the future if more games support it, the performance increases and the price drops, but not until then.

Its a £220+ card that when enabled reduces your frame-rates by about 50fps.
