| 1254764 | 2012-01-22 00:01:00 | It scores 341 on passmark... | icow (15313) | ||

| 1254766 | 2012-01-22 02:20:00 | isn't that a physX card... designed to run along with another GPU and handle all the physics in games. Or at least thats what i think, i haven't really read into it. wow 300 on passmark is terrible. my card scores around 3000 | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1254767 | 2012-01-22 04:07:00 | Whats a passmark? Here's one thing you guys should know: I don't have loads of money to spend on computer components. PhysX is only an enhancement. It taps into the GPU for complex physics calculations. PhysX brings games to life with dynamic destruction, particle based fluidsand life like animation. Here's a link: www.geforce.com |

| 1254769 | 2012-01-22 07:33:00 | okay lets do a rundown on everything. 1. Only works on games that support physx. 2. If the game uses it as a PPU you will then effectively have no graphics card. 3. It will not work unless you are running a game meaning unless your running a game that both supports physx and uses it as a GPU you will have no gpu so your computer will not work. 4. if this card were to run a game by itself it would fry. 5. it also has no optical output meaning you will not be able to connect a monitor. I am relatively certain the physx card cannot operate as a normal GPU under normal conditions as its only feature is PhysX compatibility. and it would seem pointless to make it function as a normal GPU as any Nvidia gpu series 8 or above with over 32 cores can use physx without the dedicated physx caed. |

| 1254770 | 2012-01-22 07:47:00 | Here's one thing you guys should know: I don't have loads of money to spend on computer components. Yeah I got that. But what people are trying to say is that you would be better off saving your $60 up to say you'd be better off saving up to say $160 and buying something that will last a little longer. Also I think you mentioned that you had a 38xx, so either a 3850 or 3870. Passmark score wise you have just downgraded yourself. You might see on par performance due to the newer tech and the increased vram to load larger textures etc but in the long run you won't be better off. |

| 1254771 | 2012-01-22 08:05:00 | so icow does this mean a dedicated PhysX card can actually be run as a normal gpu? | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1254772 | 2012-01-22 08:30:00 | I wouldn't call it a dedicated physx card. I'd just say its a video card with physx capabilities. Can you even get a graphics card for only physx? I know you can set one of your SLI cards to pure physx and I don't know then if it matters how good the card is or not. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1254773 | 2012-01-22 13:22:00 | I believe you can get actual dedicated phys-x cards that can't output video, and simply perform physx fangling on the pci bus. Which seems kind of superfluous to me. Yeah it might add some serious immersion to your games, but not all that many games support it. | 8ftmetalhaed (14526) | ||
