I have no idea who would buy a card just for PhysX. What's the use for it?

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

I know this is a little late, but is this card able to use Physx?

Yes. It can use PhysX.

Yeah I ended up putting it on ebay and it sold for $65 + $15 shipping. Not bad, if I do say so myself.

I'm that guy with the GPD Win.

I have one of these (from palit though), it was pretty good at 1080p considering the price and efficiency. I probably would have kept using it for another year or two if I hadn't felt the urge to go 4k ^^

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

take the load off of a normal Nvidia card so that it can process things that are not physx related so you have higher FPS. But only works for games that use Physx so its really opinion based.

to be honest it only makes sense if you have a main AMD card (I know the new drivers patched it out but who's stopping us from using old ones? ;))

PhysX cards don't always increase FPS that much. The main GPU still has to render those objects on the screen.
