Looking at a double GPU card for my new build. The obvious choice today is the HD 5970 (assuming prices don't skyrocket before Christmas). However, nVidia has an ace in the hole: PhysX. My question is this: is PhysX worth it?
nVidia: "PhysX is awesome! Look at these awesome demonstrations! :: pulls out youtube video demos ::
AMD: "PhysX will be irrelevant when developers move towards standardized physics engines"
I'm using a P55 setup, so I want to stick to one GPU so I can keep all 16x lanes open on that PCI channel (so using a lower-end nVidia card with a big ATI card won't work). Personal thoughts on the best course of action for me?
