zaGURUinzaSKY Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Dell suggests me to add this card "128MB Ageia™ PhysX™ PCI Card " along with the "512MB nVidia™ GeForce 7900GTX graphics card". It says that it works only with those applications made for these kind of graphic accelerator. Does FC (and BS) get any advantages from the use of these cards? Robbie.
igsoft2000 Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 I don't think FC supports this card. GRAW does however I searched web site and compared screen shoots with without PhysX card there seems allmost no benefits. Peronsally, I hope I am wrong but I think PhysX has no future. I think physics on the spare core of dual core CPU, Nvidia SLI and ATI crosfire physics are much better solution.
Nate Dogg Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Get the 7900GTX and if your feeling like a gamble get the PhysX card too. http://www.ageia.com/ browse this site to find out what games are supported by the card and whats possible coming up for it. But no flight sim i know of will benifit from having the PhysX card but they all will benifit from the 7900GTX as its the best card around without getting into SLI or the new single card with 2 GPU's on it. Altough it might be wise to hold off for 4 months or so untill things are announced about DX10 and DX10 GPU's cheers
