Is PhysX worth it?

[Lucky_Pom]

Hello everyone,

 

Recently I stopped being an Nvidia fanboy because of the 390 and 390x.  I don't want to start a WW3 here, so this is not the post about whether AMD is better than Nvidia.  I just want to know if PhysX is worth it to keep me from switching over to AMD.  So far, I haven't really seen a lot of games support PhysX, and even those that support it, didn't really change my game experience. So, any thoughts of PhysX?

 

Thanks in advance!

I like it in Borderlands TPS. The Subtle change it gives makes it feel higher quality...

 

... And it's fun to mess around with pushing stuff around...

 

It's really up to you if you feel it's worth it.

My thoughts on PhysX: if you already have a nVidia graphics card and you dont mind the performance hit, then great, but if you dont then your not missing out on much. Not many games actually support it, its just an added bonus for those games, but I wouldn't value PhysX as an important feature to have.

Imo no PhysX isn't worth it for choosing Nvidia, like you said most games don't even support it and it doesn't do much. Even if I had an Nvidia card I doubt I will actually use PhysX and Gameworks.

Nope... I say go AMD if you get better deal!  (if you have a very good CPU you can use PhysX but then the FPS will drop...)

PhysX isn't really enough to make one really want to use an Nvidia card.

 

Sure, some effects it results in are pretty cool, and some games can look much better and even be made more fun as a result, but unless there's a PhysX-based game that comes out down the line (which I kinda doubt, honestly), there's not really a massive reason to need it.

 

If anything, an Nvidia card is one you'd get if you wanted to use Gameworks features or if you were using it for something like After Effects where you could properly utilise CUDA processing.

No, not worth it. And most games use proper physics engines anyway

The only time you don't consider AMD is for people who use non-gaming cuda aplications.

i have an Nvidia graphic card and... and it's not for PhysX, because anyway there is not enought games supporting this tech to make it an "important" factor. 

Game with physX look way better with thant without it but... there is only a few , so it depends on the games you play and plan to play.
