Pretty much^

Just put the phys x on auto and sell your 660 Ti off. (Or put it in another system)

OMFG STOP WITH THE DEDICATED PHYSX CRAP. why do people say oh i upgraded my gpu time for a physx card. so what you can play the 5 games that actually use physx and to be clear a 780 is like 1000000000x more powerful then it needs to eb for physx adding a dedicated card won't improve your fps if anything it might lower it.

Haha I know how you feel, dedicated PhysX cards are one of the worst ideas ever. The 780 is more than powerful enough to run full PhysX on its own with good fps.

Not even that only like 5 games actually support physx is the stupidest technologie to invest in.

Calm down. And, the 780 is not that much more powerful. That is a massive exaggeration. I used a PhysX card on Batman Arkham City.

Congratulations, but really, there is no real need for a dedicated PhysX card. Not many games make use of Nvidia PhysX to justify a seperate card handling the PhysX.

 

Sell the 660.

NO, More and more games are investing into it because it is a greater physics engine than anything else on the market. Not every game uses it to a great deal but play a batman game with physx on vs off and the difference is 10 fold.

 

Batman: Arkham Origins

Witcher 3

Rise of the Triad

Warframe

Hawken

 

Those are the games currently being developed with PhysX and add to the game experience so much.

Look at the hair simulations and the water simulations they have recently. Games with PhysX are much more immerse and seem like the effects on the world actually happen. Break some glass the glass stays on the ground it doesn't disappear.

Oh yes, Witcher 3 will make use of all Nvidia has to offer. Really looking forward to it.
