i'm looking into getting a new graphics card(s), i have already decided to go over to Nvidia (i enjoy the physx games, and i will greatly utilize the CUDA cores for my industrial CAD software) and am wondering since I've set my eyes upon the 570, and do rather enjoy playing games on the highest settings, about a dedicated physx card, i have an AMD CPU so sli is out of the option, and i'm wondering if i can get a cheaper card and lug all the physx work on that while my 570 focuses on the actual graphics, and i was thinking of getting a nice little $100 GTX 260...
Nvidia's site says, and i quote
"[font="Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif"]All GeForce 8 series graphics cards and above with at least 256MB of local onboard graphics memory and at least 32 cores will be able to accelerate NVIDIA PhysX. If you intend to use an NVIDIA supported graphics card as a dedicated Physx card, the other graphics cards in the system must also use an NVIDIA GPU. "[/font]
[font="Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif"]Did i just answer my problem, or is there something else that i am missing? [/font]
[font="Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif"]also since the gtx 260 almost quadruples the minimum specifications would i notice any actual difference with that $100 card, than one that would most likely be quite a bit more pricier. [/font]
