qft on the ram. you gots to consider more ram before going in this extreme direction. There will be a time and place for the PPU, it's just not right now.Manny Calavera said:If you like wasting money on questionable tech,then hell yeah !!! You'd be better off spending it on a 2 gb kit of ram,that will actually make a real difference...

bildad said:Depends on what you're going to use it for. I mean if you use as a book end or something like that it might be worth it. But if you're planning on putting it in your PC you'd be better off putting a rock in there or something. Or as others suggested some ram would actually be something that would be beneficial.
Dan_D said:An expensive book end. Now I've had fun using PCI cards to comb the cat's fur. He really seems to like PCI cards for that. So perhaps that could be another use for it?

Pottsey said:And on the games he posted better with a PPU on, it was only 1-2 FPS. Worse then a dedicated sound card will get you.
ScYcS said:Let's all guess who in this thread wasted $300 on a PPU already...
Pottsey said:There are about 8 full games out and a bunch of demos and free games and they all use the PPU much better then GRAW. Some of them have very nice effects.
Pottsey said:Basically, as of this very moment, there is NOT any difference between running those games on a high end PC with badass graphics hardware, and the same machine with the PhysX card.
No there is a massive difference anyone saying there isnt is just fooling your self. You never see the liquid effects in none PPU games. So far no high end PC with a badass graphics card has liquids like the PPU games. In fact I dont even recall seeing any games with every buildings is fully destructible with each buildings part being a 3dobject you can hit and move. http://img214.imageshack.us/my.php?image=111111111111yw5.jpg each one of those objects can be hit by the car and sent flying.
In none PPU games you dont get that much debris and its not interactive. But its the liquids that make the big difference. No graphic card does those yet in games.

Also, I have yet to see anything (your link didnt work) that looks better on a PPU system then it does on my system.

How about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLoDxG2Uk6c Every single building is fully destructible and made up of multiply parts. Each part can be hit and sent flying as you drive though. I have never seen anything like that on a none PPU system.

Can you show me some none PPU games that look as nice as that with liquids? I like the grenades my self.
Pottsey said:I've not seen anything either. Better liquids don't justify a $300.00 price tag.[
First its $200 not $300 and 2nd its not just better liquids its also other effects and a sometimes a large performance boost.
Pottsey said:There is no way i and many others would spend $300 or $200 or maybe even $100 for a card that does nothing but make water and explosions prettier.
What about a card that makes water and explosions pretty and boosts performance by a noticeable amount? http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/physx performance update city _090506100924/12955.png
