hello
I'm new to the forum and I have a question: what do you recommend cheap graphics card to use for the PhysX games?
 
If you have a 470 I wouldn't recommend buying another card for PhysX since your card can already do it.

If you want to spend money, sell the 470 and buy a stronger main video card.
 
how many games do you even play with physx? Batman AC is the only decent game in the last two years that had optional hardware physx. you listed your gtx470 but the rest of your system is important as physx also taxes the cpu a bit more too.
 
I use a gts 450. Used to run an 8800gt. Much more is overkill. Better off going full sli.
 
thanks for the answer,
the rest of components is a core i7 950 stock velocity, 12 gb corsair vengeance and a rampage III formula
 
Welcome to the forum and as a new guy I would like to extend that welcome to the web forum search tool.

With that tool you can find an exhaustive amount of information on this very topic.
 
I'm pretty sure that EVE Online isn't remotely a graphically intensive game, though, where any additional PhysX power might be needed. Am I wrong?
 
Don't buy a new card for physx, replace your main card and use your old card for physx.

Then sell the old one when you're done playing batman.
