Greetings,
I recently built a new computer with a GTX 980, X99 AsRock Killer mobo, 16gb DDR4 2800 ram, and Core i7-5930K (6core), and ssds etc... 860W Seasonic PSU.
Before anyone wonders about the combination, I do in fact do quite a lot of scientific computing and could probably use more cores and 32 gb of ram easily. But I also play games
I've been out of the PC loop for quite some time (grad school), so I'm hoping someone can help me clarify some PhysX questions.
For my build, would it go against my overall performance if I bought, say, a GTX 750Ti as a dedicated PhysX GPU? I've been out of the gaming world so long, I haven't even played a modern PhysX game.
I've already spent too much on my current rig. So more than an extra 150$ for a notable increase in PhysX processing is off-limits to me. Or else, yes, I would just get another GTX 980.
Thank you for your time.
**Update
Thank you for your replies. Taking what I could find as references (sites which have tested this type of setup) I've determined that I 1) Don't have enough games that use it, and 2) My money is better spent on a 144hz monitor to improve my gaming aptitude.
