So my brother got a fake "GTX760" from eBay, and it was a Vamery fake card. It works fine under low use, but when under heavy load, the computer crashes. This gave me the idea of using it as a PhysX only card for games like Arkham Asylum. Does anyone have a Vamery card? Is this a good idea? Any help is appreciated.

These "fake" cards use absolute junk chips and so on. The problem with using poor quality electronics is you never know what they can cause when they fail. Most likely they will only die themselves and crash the computer, but anything can happen. You could damage your motherboard or PSU with it. To me is it worth the risk? Not a chance.

The card has been tested to be about the performance of a GT630. My current card is a modest 750Ti, which I will be replacing sometime in the future with a GTX970, so I'll probably just use the 750Ti as my PhysX card when I replace it.
