Nvidia advantage with PhysX

[nokturrduk84]

Sometimes here & on other forums I often have been arguing about PhysX. Some AMD fanboys still say that physx can be done on AMD with CPU. Yes, I don't argue with that, but how it can be done. I'm gonna break that myth now, that CPU can handle it fine, as some believe it. Yes, in some games it might, but in some serious games like Metro, you can see how poor CPU handles it, even such powerful CPU as i7 3770k.

He should have auto logged the FPS and made a chart or something

Would help if there data that you could easily read as apposed to flittering FPS counts. Min., Ave., Max. anyone?

As I've often said, pick AMD if you want 5 fps more, pick nvidia if you want to play everything slightly better, without that extra 5 fps

No need for it. Just start watching when door explodes in both scenarios (1:35 & 4:20)

Let's clear the argument right now: theoretically, the cpu can handle physx perfectly. HOWEVER, in some games, namely metro or the batman series, nvidia "asked" the developer to nerf physx when you don't have an nvidia gpu. In batman, for example, physx cpu elaboration is artificially forced to run on a single core for no reason other than $$$. I am a big fan of the batman series and yet I just changed my older nvidia gpu with an amd one. Why? Because physx is nice, but I really don't care about that as much as I care about my card performing very well at a reasonable price, especially since I'm going 4k (pb287q on its way!!!  :wub: ) and when I got the card, amd was the one offering it to me, not nvidia. Do I dislike nvidia? No, I enjoyed my experience with my nvidia gpu. But proprietary technologies need to die in my opinion and not enough games use them to make it a crucial factor in my decision making.

thats quite a diference.

 

Off topic: at 4:02, why does he have his nvgs on the bottom og his face cover thing lol

Thanks for pointing that out, a lot of us are too lazy to watch the entire thing to find it.
