PhysX Card question

Is it true that there is no advantage of using higher-end cards like GT200 cards as dedicated PhysX card compared to 9800GT/9600GT/GT 240? Or does it depend on the resolution or primary cards installed.

You can't use Nvidia card s as standalone Physx cards with an ATI Radeon, the Phyxs calculation taxes your GPU so it really depends more on the muscle of your GPU, of the above the 9800 has the most. You can use the Nvidia as a PhysX card but your going to need hacked Nvidia drivers for that and either XP, or 7; both which support two graphics cards from the two different companies.

Not really, if you use SLI then all cards are slave to one. But the connection means two cards share resources, you still can't dedicate just one to PhysX though. Quad SLI 295? Do you happen to live next to a nuclear power station?

Thanks for the info, cjl, I learned something today. Anyway the only game I could think of of the top of my head that uses PhysX is Batman: Arkhum Asylum, and maybe the upcoming Crysis 2.

Hey where were you MM, you usually correct me at least once per day on these threads. PhysX is a proprietary software used by Nvidia to label their cards as better than ATIs though few games use it. My opinion open to suggestions.
