So I love my pc. It is the product of a lot of money and time and am really proud of it. Still though I find myself wanting to squeeze a little more out of it. So what I am looking at is adding a dedicated physX card to my set up.

Currently I am running a...

Intel Core i7-5930K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W BX80648I75930K Desktop Processor

With two of these on sli...

EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 06G-P4-4995-KR 6GB SC+ GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling w/ Free Installed Backplate Graphics Card

I am seeing a lot of 1060's and 1070's for pretty cheap. Would it be worth picking up one to run as a dedicated physics card? If not, what is a good card? Or should I even bother with a dedicated physX card?

Well, a 1070 will outperform the 980 Ti slightly in a lot of things. So, if you get one of those, use the 1070 as the main and the 980Ti as the physics card.

I have a 980Ti, which replaced a pair of 680s. I kept around one of the 680s to use as a physics card, but I never saw any performance advantage to it. It definitely affected my electricity bill, though. I think the 980Ti is a good enough card to handle the physics on its own without penalty in most cases.

Hmm. Alright. So probably best to just leave alone then. Maybe save up so I can swap out for a Titan. Thank you for the responses.
