Physx Performance on GPU vs CPU - compared

[Mega666]

GPU physx really shines here..just as many imagined it would vs CPU.

"In SLI mode, both GPUs take on the physics and graphics workload equally. In Multi-GPU mode, on the other hand, the primary GPU (like a GTX 280) is dedicated to 3D graphics while the secondary GPU (like a 9600 GT) performs only PhysX calculations. This mode will be supported on both SLI and non-SLI motherboards. "

i think the fact that support is coming and developers are signing on is at least improvement and promising

The most exciting thing is I dont have to throw out my GTX 280 in a year or so when I upgrade my GPU, just keep this bad boy as a dedicated PPU!

what im more excited about is wether i should get a physx pci card, or that lowly 8500gt pci card to use as a dedicated physx gpu...seeing as on my system thats all my options

Don't forget mirrors edge is said to support it. These are just recent titles, with E:TW, Mirrors Edge and Borderlands supporting it, that's already a deal maker for me.

Don't say fail so quickly. Aliens may actually be decent has the BSG writers, and Gearbox does kinda know what they're doing.

Backbreaker looks quite awesome, good for laughs.

Does anyone know if this works with a mix of AMD and Nvida cards. I recently bought a 4870 to replace my 8800 GTS and I had a thought about using the 4870 for video and 8800 GTS for Physx. Is this even possible?
