Physx

Hi, i am currently running a single Nvidia Zotac Geforce 9800GT, in the Nvidia Control Panel, am i best letting my GPU or CPU handle Physx???

Thank you fellow W7 users.

The SLI®-Ready NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800 GT has arrived. Enjoy industry-leading features such as NVIDIA PhysX™ technology* that brings your games to life and HybridPower™ for optimal power management. And with GeForce 9 Series goodness, 112 processor cores and a 256-bit frame buffer, this GPU’s got the stuff hardcore gamers have been waiting for.*PhysX drivers are required to experience in-game GPU PhysX acceleration. Visit www.nvidia.com/PhysX for more details.

IMO

If you have the drivers installed let the video card handle it.
That is what it was designed for.
No delay swapping the info back and forth between the GPU and CPU.

Set your in game settings to maximize smooth frame rate and no hangs or stutter.

The GPU itself handels Physx. If you do not have an OLD PhysX stand alone card you ahve to be running a newer nvidia card w/ PhysX. While your CPU can handle basic Physics it cannot process as many streams at the same time that producing physics requires.

I mean Look up "Fastra 2" it is about 8-9 video cards the process about as much as a supercomputer.

Just leave it set to auto, but if you set the Physx settings too high in games, then you'll see quite a noticeable slowdown if you only have 1 card to render graphics and Physx.

That Fastra is kick ass, if i had the money i would use that for all my games ha ha.

... Its not that good at games.....
