View Full Version : Batman Physis with 275 GTX & Agae Physics Card
Just wondering, would it make a difference if I installed my original Agae Physis Card along side my 275 GTX?....

Nah it wouldnt work, the game needs a 9800gtx+ if u want physx on high.
Yeah, they say that the Physx implemented on the GFX cards is far superior to the dedicated cards - glad I dodged that bullet and didn't buy one (and sorry you did).

So, in order to see higher quality in graphics, I need to install my old 9800 GTX card? I'm not following the logic here....

I added a spare 8800gt from work for physx and the performance increase was huge with all setting maxed, 1920x1080 res 4xaa and 16xaf forced in CP. I think the average went from 42 to 75. I didnt write it down but let me just say this.
Before the 8800gt it was running in the 40's a lot. Now I t stays at 60 about 90% of the time with some drops to in to the 40's. Dropping aa to 2x or raising it to 8x seems to make no difference in performance.
Oh my main card is a 280gtx evga oc edition.

You need the older card plus your current card. Your GTX for graphics and the 9800 for PhysX...
How about a 9600GT for physx?

Did you have to connect the two cards together?

no, nvidia control panel recognizes it right away. Just plug the card into the pci slot and give it some juice.

Wow. I installed the second card (9800 GTX), and it is a HUGE difference. :eek:

sorry for late reply doc. No I didnt. The 2nd card doesnt even have a monitor hooked to it. just put it in and let windows install the driver on its own. I assume it used what was already there from the 280. Big difference though. God I love 1080p gaming on a 55". Some of the newer hdtvs are awesome. The toshiba 650u I have has a native mode so that there is no video scaling at all. Perfect screen fit at 1080p !! Never go back to gaming at a desk again. Laser mouse works perfectly on a couch cushion with a wireless keyboard in my lap, feet up on an ottoman. Bliss.

Lets hope that more physx titles get this type of bump in performance from adding an old card. It was very surprising to see for sure.

Yea, I'm hoping so as well. I really liked Batman, and I will be running through it again this weekend! :thumbsup:

So much for that thread about 3 or 4 months ago saying "Physx is bull****"....
It takes time for this technology to develop... I really wish I had more than just an 8600 GT for physx... but alas, not worth buying another card for it.

Or all the threads back when Ageia first promoted PhysX. I've always been a supporter of the tech, and still am.
Unfortunately, I don't have the funds to allow me to really make use of it. :(

I never liked Ageia's card... mostly because it was underpowered... but honestly nvidia's design now that you can use your old video cards is genius.... as long as we have a spare slot we'll always be able to use physx because of the natural upgrade cycle... very very few of us don't have a spare 8xxx series laying around... even if it is just an 8600 GT it's a great addition

I am trying to beat too many games at once so I still have not beaten batman. Dirt 2, Metriod 3, Need For speed shift and Batman !! Too many good games for me right now. I cant decide which one to play half the time.

I just got a 9600GT to work as dedicated PhysX card and it works pretty good. The benchmark gives those numbers:
- Min: 31
- Avg: 68
- Max: 128
PhysX is high, and resolution is 1920x1200 with 4xAA (forced via ATI control panel). I like how ATI and nVidia cards work together
