But you could run that 8800GT as a dedicated physx card.How would I go about doing that?mic81784By putting it in a2nd pci-e slot and then go nvidia control panel and selcting the 8800 as physx

got to make sure the PSU is powerfull enough!!!!
How many Watts???
only 575W

HMMMMM
Putting in thee 8800gt might be a bit risky
I personnally would never try it with this PSU
So IYO even if I updraded the PSU I wouldnt see a much better performance gaming, with a dedicated physx card?
Athlon x4 @3.0Ghz( I plan on OC'ing)
6 GB RAM at 1600
GTX 260 896MB OC

You will only see a gain with games that support physx.
otherwise no.
I know batman, metro 2033 and mafia 2 supports physx, those are the three recent game I remember.
It's up to you to decide I you want to spend money on a new PSU.
you could also save up that money for now and put it on a new dx11 GPU... personnally, that's what I would do, but that's me!!!
[QUOTE="middle-earth88"]Maybe to you, but I think it's a nice added touch but not really necessary for the amount of processing power needed. Mafia II looks has some nice cloth physics... haha.You won't miss much anyway. Physx is a scam.

it really is over rated. I have a phsyx card geforce gt 240 as well as mafia 2. Don't see a difference b/w physx and regular physics.

You'll probably only notice the difference if you're scoping it. I could tell right away, but I could also tell that the fps took a big hit from having physx. The thing that sucks is using my onboard graphics right now while my gtx 460 is being stepped up to a gtx 570. I only used the card for 15 days. The gtx 260 core 216 was a lovely card. I used it for about 2 years and then I bought the gtx 460. I sold mine for only $80 on ebay though.Please Log In to post.
