Dedicated Physx processor

So I have two questions

1. Is it possible to use an AMD GPU as a dedicated physx card?

 

2. Would it be better to set up a Radeon HD 6670 1gb as a dedicated physx card along side with my GYGABYTE GTX 1070 G1?

 

Thanks :)

1. No.

2. No, but your GTX 1070 should handle PhysX just fine by itself.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

AMD doesn't have the ability for PhysX as far as I'm aware. You can go into the Nvidia Control Panel and set the GPU for PhysX.

1, NO

 

2, Please just use your 1070, the HD6670 will bottleneck the hell out of your system, probaly dropping your frame from 20-30 fps.

Have any games in 2016 even made use of PhysX?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Fallout 4 is an example of one. Lots of games use physx itself, but don't have support for a dedicated physx card.

If you mean just the dedicated card then it has been a few years since a game has released with support for it.
