Current Build:
ASRock Extreme3 Gen3 Motherboard (2 PCIe 3.0 slots)
Intel i3-2100
Sapphire Radeon HD 6850
500W OCZ PSU
Some future and recent games I have looked into have rather nice Physx integration (Borderlands 2, Arma 3), and I would like to pay for that upgrade.
My questions:
1. Are there any other advantages towards having a separate, cheap, Nvidia card for PhysX?
2. Will I experience many problems with software/hardware compatibility?
3. Would a change to a 550ti Fermi or similar card prove better?
I believe that the requirement for PhysX is 96 CUDA cores. If there are any other restrictions I should be aware of, please mention them!
