I am not too familiar with PhysX but I was just looking at the settings under my NVIDIA control panel and the PhysX was set under CPU. I have the options for auto-select, CPU, or GPU. Which should I set it under for best performance? It was set under CPU when I just checked it.

CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K @ 3.3 GHZ GPU: MSI GTX 980 OCV1 4GB RAM: Avexir Core Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 PSU: Cougar SL600 600W Mobo: MSI X99A SLI PLUS ATX LGA2011-3 Case: Rosewill Stryker M Mid Tower Storage: ADATA 240GB SSD, Toshiba 3 TB 7200 RPM HDD

I set mine to auto, but given how few games actually use PhysX nowadays, I wouldn't expect it to make any difference anyway.

When in doubt, re-format.
