    8800GTX, GT 240 or GT 545 for dedicated PhysX?

    Which would be the best solution for a dedicated PhysX card? For reference I'm running a 6850 as my main. I've tested and have enabled the use of a hybrid PhysX setup previously, but I am looking for a good single-slot card.

    HIS 6850 Replacement Heatsink

    My HIS 6850's fan makes an awful grinding noise. Seems to be a common issue this this model. I've tried everything to fix it myself, but I just can't find out what's causing it. Applying slight pressure to the fan itself stops the noise, so it may be an imbalance. I need to replace the...

    Any decent single slot cards for physics?

    GT 545 is suppose to be pretty decent for a single slot. I've been thinking about picking one up for myself.

    6850: Grinding noise when fan speed is greater than 45%

    No rubber stopper on the underside of the fan. :l

    6850: Grinding noise when fan speed is greater than 45%

    Is there a way to determine this? Currently I have the heatsink and fan disassembled and I am wondering if I can fix the fan, replace the fan or if I'm stuck buying a new heatsink/cooler.

    6850: Grinding noise when fan speed is greater than 45%

    Just wondering. I haven't replaced thermal paste on a GPU before so I just wanted to be sure. I mention AS5 and ASC since that's all I have and I am unaware what I have left in stock. Haha yes, I don't plan on oiling the fan with thermal paste. When you remove the heatsink, (which you have...

    6850: Grinding noise when fan speed is greater than 45%

    AS5/ASC should be fine right?

    6850: Grinding noise when fan speed is greater than 45%

    My HD 6850 makes a light grinding noise when the fan speeds go over 45%. I would imagine it's the bearings causing the noise. I have found that I can stop the noise if I lightly shake the computer as well. Is there a way to replace the fan and/or cooling system on it? That would resolve the...

    Hybrid PhysX w/6850: What Nvidia card?

    Interesting. The GTX 460 is great but I think I would be more interested in a single slot card instead so I might look into it a bit more.

    Hybrid PhysX Latest Drivers (ATi+nVidia) now FluidMark1.4+ works finally!

    I just followed those guidelines and it works great. You need to have both cards installed before you begin the process.

    PhysX in Borderlands 2

    I just finished setting up my GTX 460 as a dedicated PhysX alongside my 6850. Dinking around by myself in-game the most I saw was 46% load on the 460. I basically used a corrosive SMG shot at the ground for particles, next to cloths and water, and threw some Slag grenades that sucks enemies...

    $140 for GPU: Single Nvidia or Hybrid PhysX?

    Not likely. More in the 720p range. I think what I'm going to do is get her a GTX 560 and let it handle everything. It should be adequate with medium PhysX at 720p with Medium/High graphics. If she wants more we can also decide to grab another Nvidia card and use it as a dedicated PhysX...
