AstroEma Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Hi all, I am thinking of picking up a dedicated Physix Video Card (Something like a GTX570 or similar 2gb) Do you guys think there would be any benefit in that? My primary card is a G1 GTX970, running 3 monitors (and more in the future). Cheers, e. 3 Kaby Lake @ 4.6Ghz - Gigabyte Z170-D3H - 16Gb DDR4 - Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 OC - Samsung EVO 250Gb SSD - Seagate 1 Tb HDD - HTC Vive - Rift CV1
Demon_ Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I think DCS don't use the PhysX technology. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/physx/games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_hardware-accelerated_PhysX_support Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche.

So the answer for the OP is that there would be precisely zero benefit.

SixthFall Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 and with so few titles actually supporting hardware based physx, its pretty much NEVER worth it to have a seperate physx card. Just let your main card take care of it. -16AGR-Bear
