    Low physics score with 3dmark programme is my r9 290 to blame?


    Hi there,
    I have what i think a fairly decent PC setup.
    But after running the 3dMark software the physics scores are very low
    Is my GPU to blame? am i best upgrading to a GTX 970?

    As far as I know:

    Unless you have Nvidia card doing PhysX calculations, you are limited to your CPU doing it. So that benchmark is measuring your CPU. However, CPU PhysX is not that great.

    Edit: Just checked my score and I guess 3dmark does CPU physics only? Notice how they are written differently. PhysX versus Physics

    Mark 3D uses the CPU for Physics.
