Dedicated Physx Card?

[[Chris]]

Is having a dedicated Physx card worth it?

I mean.. like.. Just to take the load off the MAIN graphics card? Making it a little more future proof im guessing?

No, very few games use it IIRC.

I've heard the opposite tbh. I suppose it depends on what you play.

Apparently source games use them quite a lot, Im guessing games like Farcry 2 and Crysis/2 Will?

[Stephen!]

Source doesn't use PhysX, neither do Far Cry 2 or Crysis.

Batman and mirrors edge are the only decent games with it included.

Well, i dont know, I was looking more at the Nv GTX 3xx series.. seeing as it wont be THAT soon i will be getting a PC, im saving my moneez So..

But i obviously want something good

Well i'd say just wait until you have a decent amount saved up for a new PC, like £500+ and then take a look at what's on the market then.

You can use a spare nvidia graphics card that has physx support as a dedicated physx card.

Yeah, i know that but it has to be the 8/9 series doesnt it?

And i am currently NOT in possession of a desktop. So, No..

I mean.. i could get a gtx 260 when i had the money as a backup aswel.. I mean they are only 100 now?
