RTX 20 series hardware acceleration in old games?

[Maozi]

hello

 

did any1 tested RTX cards in old MMORPG games, which are Physx CPU based?

i heard that RTX has DDR6 and when you are streaming or recording with OBS NVENC, then it using VRAM instead of RAM as it was doing GTX cards and video quality is better.

so my question is: is it possible that RTX does better Hardware acceleration in OLD MMO games or RTX only better in OBS and games with ray tracing?

RTX cards NVENC is about as a good as Medium software encoding now, I believe.   I do not believe it uses any less CPU than GTX cards did though, its just better quality.

PhysX wise, if they support PhysX hardware then they should accelerate the same as a GTX card.  If its strictly a CPU implementation, I don't see how it could make any difference.

So honestly, I don't see why an RTX card would work any better than a GTX card, other than if you choose a faster card to begin with.

i didnt mean that it is using less CPU, but it is using VRAM instead of RAM and that means video quality is better because now it doesn't need to move data to RAM, but RTX card is handling it in VRAM

i mean that some old MMO games has checkbox with option "Hardware acceleration", which i suppose means that GPU accelerates Physx even game is CPU Physx, but i am not sure about this, that is why i would like know more about this... 

so Nvidia now has Physx software which comes with drivers and i was thinking if that is working better with RTX or same as with GTX

Physx has been on all Nvidia cards for over a decade. Gtx and rtx should behave the same other than once being newer and faster.
