Nvidia card to use for physX

[BenBo1984]

I am thinking about getting a gpu to use just for PhysX. any suggestions?

First of all, what's your current GPU?

 

If you have a Nvidia 600 or 700 series card, you don't need a dedicated PhysX card. If you have a 500 series card then another one of the same type of a lower model would work well, or a GTX 460(1GB if you can find one, but 768MB is good) would be a good alternative.

Damn! I had a 460 sitting around but I gave it to a friend. He uses it for Physx now so I would recommend that one.

will it still work if I had an Amd card to do all the graphics and a Nvidia card to do the PhysX?

That entirely depends on his current GPU.

You can get it to work, but it won't work well. You'll have to use hacked drivers that are outdated and not supported by AMD or Nvidia. I personally wouldn't do this if you have a AMD GPU.

No, no dedicated gpu card just for physics wont be any good. Just sell you current, and buy better. 

Dedicated card for physics is dead, and that happend when Nvidia bought Ageia. The end.

ok if I got a gtx 650ti boost would a gtx 550ti for PhysX make any difference to the fps?

It will, but honestly i wouldn't bother with it, for what game do you think you need more physx performance?

Better SLI the card rather than buying a dedicated Physx card. D:
