Benefits of Dedecated PhysX card?

What are the benefits of a dedecated PhysX card, and would if you have a GTX 295?

are you sure, in the future games might dedecate PhysX more though I emagine, is it possible even with a 295 a dedecated PhysX card will have some benefit soon?

what day will it be when the 295 is a low end card, have you ever seen crysis on a big monitor witha 295

just to finish off this thread I decided to try a 9800GT with my 295 and there is a huge difference in deffinetly a game like Warmonger where it is completely based on PhysX and I got a bunch of PhysX demos so even though I have a GTX 295 a dedicated PhysX card is beneficial.

It's honestly 10 FPS faster with 9800 GT and 10 FPS slower with the GTX 295 (these are average frame rates) after just using the application Fraps. It's about 10 FPS on both Batman: Arkham Asylum Demo and in Warmonger.

So what do you guys think is that a huge difference? Before I measured the difference it seemed like a huge difference I imagined like 30 FPS difference but obvisouly it's not quite a huge performance boost. It is a welcome performance boost though.

that helps nothing mousemonkey

he meant that you were sure there was no reason behind having a dedicated PhysX card if you have a GTX 295 and that was proven wrong and there for he assumed that you felt bad.

If you feel that 10fps is worth it then good for you, as far as I'm concerned it most certainly is not and thus I stand by my original statement and feel quite good about it actually, sorry annisman you assumed wrong.

Having a dedicated card is useless. I added a 9600gso as a dedicated physics card paired up with 2 gtx260 sli. Performance in UT3/Warmonger were the same if not lower. If you have a powerful card then let it handle the physics don't add a weaker card. On the other hand if you have a 9600gt and adding 8600gts for dedicated physics i can imagine it would be useful and work!

yah I actually like haveing a low end graphics card in my computer for PhysX and you're right there arn't really any games that are good on the spectrum that really support PhysX and I never played Mirrors Edge but it looked boooooring. One game that does support PhysX though is Batman: Arkham Asylum and this game is super fun after playing the demo. Right my room gets disgusting, muggy and hot. And this card is basicly to fill up space, I have a 295 and I'm not going to spend another 500 doallars for another one, I spent $70 on my 9800GT.

the difference is there I really enjoy having it, my room got really hot before this 9800GT actually in hindesight

Nope not when there is tons of PhysX code behind the scenes not that I write PhysX code I just understand that computers run on code.

That's nice for you.

Like I said, that's nice for you.
