edogawa Splendid Jan 4, 2012 2,890 0 21,460 Sep 28, 2012 #3 It's an excellent idea, given the game supports Nvidia PhysX, here is a list of games that fully support it: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/physx/pc-games http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_hardware-accelerated_PhysX_support The extra heat, electric, and money isn't worth it if you don't play any of these games, or play them very little. So just toss it in your computer if you have one lying around, you will get a decent performance gain with it while using PhysX. Upvote 0 Downvote
