Dedicated physx gpu?

[AgentSoo7]

I have recently upgraded my gtx  660 with a 770. Should I keep the 660 as a dedicated physx card?     

[SkilledRebuilds]

Why not

[AgentSoo7]

Why not

Ok thanks

As long as your power supply can handle it, sure.

I would say throw your GPU up on a few sale sites but if it doesn't go just keep it in the rig

PhysX setups can sometimes be pretty temperamental.

Can't sell it unfortunately, lost the box that it came in ages ago. I'll do some testing of my own but thanks for the info.

Just sell it without the box lol.

You don't need the box to sell it.

Just put it in an anti-static bag and another box.

Hmm I might. l'll benchmark it first

It actually makes a pretty big difference as long as your game uses physx

 

boarderlands 2 for instance

Cool. I'm gonna keep it for now.

I gotta warn you, though. I would only sell the GPU to someone you know or is on a forum like this. I sold my GTX 560ti when I got a 670 and the guy sent it back saying it didn't work. Cost me £14 in posting and when I put it in my bros PC it worked fine.

 

Also, If you intend to keep your 660 make sure your PSU is good enough. I would make sure the brand is reputable and has enough AMPs on the right rails for it. (It should need 2 rails @ 15 amps MINIMUM.)

 

 

P.S. I have never had a use for PhysX cards. Planetside 2 showed next to no slowdown with PhysX turned on.

Although that game was severely CPU-limited.

That's your personal f up. I would have told the shipper to RTS "return to sender".

I finally agree with I/O on something!

If you ebay it you can sell it as is no refund/returns. You should of sent it back.

No idea how that works or if it was applicable to land parsels but if you say so. It was still annoying to not get my £70 for an illegal reason.

I didn't know that. Damn.

My 1000W CM Silent Pro is more than enough I think

Wise men learn from their mistakes. In the end did you have to give the money back that you received for the 560ti ? This seems weird to me.

I did, the person I sold it to claimed it to be faulty as his PC did not turn on when the card was in it. That means under Uk law i have to refund him/her

I've got a GTX 750 Ti doing dedicated PhysX for my GTX 770. Works wonders in Borderlands 2 and Batman: Arkham City. I think Assassin's Creed IV still isn't working right for PhysX since it shows essentially 0% usage on the 750 Ti during play. It's a hit or miss. BTW: the GTX 750 Ti is running at PCIe 2 4X, doesn't appear to bottleneck. Reason being is I'm using an ASUS Sabertooth Z77 which support only 2 PCIe 3 16X slots (8X in SLI).

I'd sell it but if you really want to keep the card then I don't see why not

hi all. i just got a gtx 780 and am wondering if i can use my old old geforce 8800 gts 512 as a dedicated physx card. i know the 8800 gts can do physx but is it powerful enough to help my new gtx 780? i know i may have to test it. just hoping someone had any experience using rely old cards as dedicated physx cards?

thank you
