Quote from conclusion of the article:
"...based on our testing, Radeon cards seem to handle PhysX slightly better than their GeForce counterparts. When running Borderlands 2 at 1920x1200, the HD 7970 only took a 15% performance hit after enabling PhysX (dropping from 72fps to 61fps), whereas the GTX 680 fell 19% from 74fps to 60fps."
That does not sound right. Can anybody give some real world feedback on this?
If true, would be great for Radeon owners like me who were going to pass on the game. If the physx works well on Radeons then I would pick up this game. Also, I am pretty sure other physx games (Batman, Cryostasis, Mafia 2) could not use physx at all with Radeons.
Fyi, this is NOT hybrid physx where there is an Nvidia card installed. The techspot article discusses a game tweak that pushes physx processing to a cpu core. The gist of the article is that multi-core cpu's are now powerful enough to handle physx without a crushing performance penalty.
