Weird... I have read 3 how to set up Physx article and they have all insisted on needing to connect the Psysx card via the VGA input on the monitor.

Here is one of them:

I read that trying this with Vista you would need to hook up the Psysx card to the monitor as well. Is this still true or has this been corrected since a few year back?

Thanks

Thanks again fellas.

I think I am going to rebuild.

Thinking of this:

i5 2500k

560 TI OC

8 gigs ram

One more question... with the 570 TI OC is there still a need for an additional card for Physix? I suppose I could install the 280GTX for Physix. You guys think it is still nessessary with the new cards out now?

Okay, so I have settled on a 570... will I have serious issues running this card with my E6850 3.00 ghz with 4 gigs of ram?

[QUOTE="Morrinator"]

From a business point of view his comments make perfect sense. If you were in his shoes you would do the exact same thing. It is all about money people... Carmack doesn't owe anyone anything.

Here is what it comes down to:

- if PC gamers boycott (lol) ID games in the future they will still make exceptional money off selling their games on consoles.

- now turn the situation on it's head... they can not survive with only the PC market on their side if the consoles boycotted their products.

If you want to blame anything, how about the absurd pricess for gaming hardware? I mean does NVIDIA and AMD really need to come out with a new card every 4 months.

In my opinion, NVIDIA and AMD with their lack of patch support and price gouging is what has contribute large to the demise of PC gaming with a lot of old school PC gamers switching to console because they get tired of spending 2 days getting a game to run out of the box.

LOL, are u blaming the video cards for the bad optimization in Rage....?

Read son... for God sakes read. I was giving my opinion on why consoles have seemed to grab the attention of developers over the PC community.

Read... think... then post. In that order.

Been about 4 years since I bought a GPU and have been used to paying $300+ for my cards.

Is there something I am missing here? This card listed appears to be a worthy upgrade from my 280 GTX... but the price seems very low.

Has PC gaming gotten cheaper over the past 4 years?

Is this a good buy or am I missing something here?

Thanks in Advance
