Re: lotsa reviews of the new physics stuff coming in
8800ultra would be a overkill just for physx. you should be fine with 8800gt

Re: lotsa reviews of the new physics stuff coming in
Looks like I'll be going with a 780i or 790i after all. Sounds like 2x GTX260 + dedicated 8800GT for physics could be pretty sweet

Re: lotsa reviews of the new physics stuff coming in
There are at least 24 games that will be out supporting it sometime next year. Ten will be out by Christmas. How many DX 10.1 games will be out by the end of next year?
PhysX could prove very useful at elevated res or at a lower res in very demanding games. GPU PhysX more than tripled my FPS in Warmonger @ 1920x with all details maxed. I went from 20FPS to 63. That's a potential to be meaningful. That's moving from unplayable solidly into playable. Warmonger at the tutorial start with all sliders to the right, or details maxed. 177.79 + PhysX 8.07.18 on the GTX 260 = 63FPS http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/6...ysix260rq3.jpg As above but with an 8800GT doing PhysX for my 260 = 79FPS http://img213.imageshack.us/my.php?i...gtphysxms4.jpg 177.41 no GPU PhysX = 20FPS http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/5...41stocknt6.jpg

Re: lotsa reviews of the new physics stuff coming in
physX is a marketing tool to sell graphics card, plain and simple

Re: lotsa reviews of the new physics stuff coming in
Well I tried out the PhysX demo pack thing and I have to say it's an absolute
let down. Crysis has better 'PhysX'.. (yes I know it's doesn't have actual PhysX') but the Physics in Crysis are much better than this crap. Like did anyone else try the demos? LOL Whatever !! OLD NEWS as far as I'm concerned. |
