ATI questions RE: PhysX

[shayan288]

Hey there,

I switched to ATI about a month ago, and I now have a 5970.
When I had my gtx 460, I was playing games that had high demand in physx like
Metro 2033, mafia 2, 3dmark vantage (not really a game but still), etc.
And now that I have a 5970, all those games dont work for me and when I try to one them
For eg. (Metro 2033) a get an error regarding me not having physx. I highly doubt that you NEED
a Nvidia card to play the games mentioned above ...

So far my experience with ATI has been absolutely HORRIBLE. I have had troubles with their drivers (as shown in a previous thread of mine, that was never really resolved), poor framerate despite how much I have paid for this GPU , and compatibility.

I am still getting poor frame rate in games that I should be killing, and a friend with a 5850 still gets higher frames that I do in a game called dead rising 2. For dead rising 2, I get 60-100 FPS without any AA or blur on, and as soon as I turn it on a bit, BOOM! 20-40 FPS >.<

So as you may be able to tell, I am seriously hating on ATI's driver support ATM (I would assume that this is lack of driver support seeing that others with my card, are having similar problems).

So yeah, if anyone has any solutions or suggestions for any of the problems above, that would be awesome. Sorry for the multiple troubleshooting threads for my 5970 over time. I guess it is just because this card creates new problems for me by the week.

Thanks in advance!

You probably just need to turn Physx off in the games.

But the thing is that I can't open the game to turn the physx off in it.
However it looks like I can take Metro 2033 off the list of games that don't work with my new card.
Looks like my error was just a normal game error, and not a video card thing.
The Dead Rising 2 Anti Aliasing thing though is still a problem :(

Sounds like a there are still leftover files from the Nvidia drivers left.

You need to install the PhysX drivers.

NVIDIA DRIVERS 9.10.0513

[shayan288]

@jcmaz Yeah tried it before, I had wiped them clean with Driver Sweeper, and the problem still was there.

@lowfat Thanks man, I installed them, and now 3D Mark Vantage and Mafia 2 work.

Only problem I have so far is the whole Dead Rising 2 Anti Aliasing thing,
and also I was wondering if 86C average on load when playing a high standard game like bad company 2, is normal, and idling at around 55C. This is with the stock cooler, and on auto.

I am running a 9600GSO for physx along side my Radeon HD 3850 as my primary card. :) werksgud

Temperatures seem fine.

And yes, certain games require NVIDIA cards to have AA. I believe Batman Akrum Asylum is another.
