Should i do hybrid physx?

jackisawesome5 · Oct 11, 2013

i'm thinking of upgrading from a 7950 to a R9 280x, even know its going to cost, and im thinking of doing hybrid physx aswell, which Nvidia card would be optimal for this, i dont want to to bottleneck my system, i want it to run on-par with my graphics card as if its not even there. Id like to go as low as i can possible go without losing preformance.

Thanks, jack

Hybrid Physx (using an AMD primary GPU with a Nvidia GPU for dedicated Physx processing) requires the use of older AMD drivers that were hacked to support the capability (custom drivers essentially). They are likely to not work properly, if at all, with the newly released AMD GPUs. Also, those drivers have not been updated in some time.

What system do you have?

COLGeek, As im going to get the R9 280x in 2014 and thinking of getting dedicated physx now, i currently hate how i get low frames in certain physx games and just want to get it out the way so i can basically not think about the physx, in some games i own you cant even change the physx settings to off. The frames are perfectly playable its just i like 60 fps atleast and thats what im not getting. I like the idea of getting both a nvidia card and a amd card as i would get the best of both worlds

Understood, the issue is this. Current AMD drivers (likely required to support the new GPUs) will not allow the old hack to work. If Physx is really a priority for you, then I would suggest you get a strong Nvidia GPU to meet both your video processing and Physx processing needs.
