Cell Factor: Revolution and PhysX processor

[ADE]

The game is really cool, and I would love to play it, sadly, it requires a PhysX processor. Now, I know they suck, and a rare few games use them, but do you think it would be wise to get one anyway? I mean think about it, new DX10 game are more complex than ever, It might be a smart and wise investment to get them while there cheap right?

According to this my friend you do not need a PhysX card to run the game.

install the game then do this:

Edit the shortcut (right click it, choose properties, go to shortcut and then target) by adding "EnablePhysX=false" at the end. This is case

Damn they must've found this thread and are working on it so you cant play it without PhysX< yelling across forumz>DAMN YOU AGEIA DAMN YOU TO HELL!

Hah...doesn't the 8800 have a PhysX processor built in?

 

[ADE]

guess not.

i thought that too

 

[ADE]

i Used to think that. Someone said other wise...

I tried the demo version a few minutes ago, I play the full, but what the way, i gave it a shot. This is what I got with your little method.

 

[Tuffie]

Is that supposed to happen?

I think the deal with the 8800 is that with 2 or 3 you can use one to do physics.

 

[zaroba]

can do that with any graphics card if you have a motherboard that has 3 pci-x x16 slots. they have the 3rd slot (usually the middle slot) for a physics processer.

only problem with that is that current PhysX cards are only PCI and not PCI-E

Hmm.....so the PhysX Processor wouldn't run with the speed of your vid card? I think I found a little flaw, how retarded.

No, what I meant is that the 8800 had some optimization utility (was a rumor at some point, dont know about the validity of it) for when you used a third.
