Help me decide whether to use GTX 480 as dedicated PhysX
Hey all,
I used to use GTX 480 SLI but recently upgraded to single GTX 970 (MSI Gaming G4). I am considering to keep the Zotac AMP Edition as a dedicated PhysX card as it is the cooler running of my 480s. I have a few games that can utilize PhysX ie. Mafia 2, Batman games, Metro 2033.
I did install the 480 10 days ago, but I couldn't run Mafia 2 above 20fps (regardless of PhysX on/off etc, seemed like frames were limited somehow, I have to open a new thread in the games forum later). And decided to remove it to test later.
Can anyone tell me a good way to benchmark the usefulness of the 480 as a dedicated PhysX card please?
Would FluidMark/FurMark stress the GPUs enough to show a meaningful result? Or any other considerations?
Thank you!
