PhysX

[Guest]

Hi

Please advise if I have enough power (CPU & Power Supply) to operate a physX system?

E6750 Core 2 (OC 3.2)

Asus P5E MB

DDR2 1066 (4GB)

Silverstone OP650 (54 amp)

560 Ti (GPU Sparkle)

8800GT OC (BFG for physX)

HP w2207h (1680 x 1050)

Thank You Kindly
Don

Your CPU is abit on the weak side, and may bottleneck your 560 Ti in newer games that use more than 2 cores.
Your power supply should be ok.

take out that 8800 that 560 is effecient enough

Do you even play physx games or own a GF104 or 114 based card? Just having a dedicated card alone takes care 15-25% on average load off the main card.


Keep the 8800gt and don't listen that is if you play physx games or fold at lot.

I play all Stalker games, Cryostosis, Fallout 3 - games like that (FPS)

I have a Sparkle 560Ti & BFG 8800GT OC

?? The table clearly shows a 19 fps increase by using a 8800GTS as a dedicated physx card vs not using one at all.

ah you edited in more stats with those numbers I guess i'd personally only keep the 8800 in if I was serious about folding. Else, sell it & save up for that better cpu.

iS THE 8800GT WORTH IT?

A single Gtx 460 gives you over a 100fps.Thats increased by round 20fps when a Gtx 430 is used.
Now the 560 is faster. you already get above 100fps. Whats the use of the 800gt except for wasting power and producing heat. your 560 will do the physx and run the game over a 100fps on its own

OLD charts, second there is no quote of system specs in your post to compliment the charts quoted. Are you an owner of any of these cards to have done this personally your self? I think not. Rich kid listen look this up your self and experiment as I have done on my own dollar. I am fed up of people who think they know every thing but can only quote charts.

8800 for physx will dump the fps in games with that GTX 560Ti trust me! take it out!

the only game with physx he is playing is cryostosis which would easily run on a gtx560 without the 8800. it may benefit in mafia II only as it seems to use physx quite a lot comparatively. IMO the 8800 is just wasting electricity and giving no noticeable benefit.

I will stay with one card 560 ti.

the 560 Ti can easily overclock to or close to 1000mhz gpu core
thus making it a little faster or equal to a stock clocked 6970 2gb card

Its powerfully enough to do the physx plus run the games with decent frame rates.
On that chart the gains was big coz ATI cards don't do physx not nvidia physx that is so the cpu will do the physx which the cpu is awful with X87 instructions.
Now the op got a nvidia card which can do the X87 physx. So your saying to run a extra gpu create more heat drawing more power patching up drivers for a possible 3fps with about 4 games.? Is that worth it? If it was a faster gpu doing the physx yes then maybe as shown at the top charts. The op can run the 560ti without patches without fiddling with anything plus get the physx effects without a problem.

Lets see you got around $1600-1800 USD in just three GTX 580 alone and the rest of your system is likely around $500-800~. So you being rich you most certainly can afford to purchase a gtx 560 and prove me wrong without going to other sources.
