And apparently any 8 series and up card will work as your dedicated Physx card. I'd be tempted to get an 8500 or something like that. |
In Mirrors Edge with PhysX on my cpu usage would be 50% (Core 0) and 90% (Core 1) and this is a C2D chip.
When I turned off PhsyX my cpu usage on both would usually stay around the 90-100% mark.
So no PhysX is not a marketing ploy and I'm sure with a dedicated GPU for PhysX I'd notice better performance out of my card with games.
