Additional Physx Card

[Roboslash1]

Hey guys, I just got myself a new rig an I was wondering if I should get a GPU dedicated for Physx? Does it make a large difference in many games or not? Also im wondering if the brand (Msi, Gigabyte, EVGA etc.) of the card could be different from my main GPU? What newer games will be effected using a physx card? 

 

Specs of current system:

 

Nvidia Gigabyte GTX 780ti GHZ Edition

 

i7 5820k

 

Fractal Design Refine R4

 

Noctua NH-D14 SE2011

 

Kingston SSDNow V300 SSD - 120GB

 

Western Digital WD Green 1TB

 

Cooler Master Thunder 700W

 

Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB DDR4 2400 MHZ

 

Gigabyte X99 UD3 Motherboard

 

Dell E2214H Screen

 

Razer Blackwidow Expert 2014

 

Razer Deathadder 2013

 

 

 

 

Cheers,

you wont need it with that card.

Depends. If you can buy another 780TI then just go SLI and it will be better.

As @Swndlr said you wont notice much of a difference at all. the 780ti is an amazing card and will handle it.

totally not needed.

Hers a video but I dont think you need a card

Did somebody say SLI 780ti Kappa

 

I use my 780ti (2) the lower of my cards for physx purely due to (1) being higher so thermally it gets hotter.

Thx 4 the replies. I really appreciate the feedback. However will letting one card doing physx processing and the main GPU the textures/rest minimize the GPU load? Sometimes my 780ti goes up to 90-99 % gpu usage (on some games constantly) and gets quite warm 80  degrees (playing far cry 3) . I wonder if having a physx card will even out the work on both of them instead of one. (Im wondering this as I heard higher temps equals generally shorter lifetime)

Since you have a 5820K just let the CPU do the PhysX calculations if you want to take a load off your GPU. Otherwise just leave it on your GPU

Do this or get a Kraken G10 + Asitek AIO to cool the card if you are that concerned about the temps. The card is made to be able to run at that temperature when at full load.
