i really like to open a thread of physics because i really dont understand nothing about it, that new graphics card will have physics 9600gt, and all series of graphics cards 9600 up will have physics, how do the physics work and all that, would be interesting to know if someone knows plz talk about it and all that ty:)
 
Apparently tho, the 8xxx cards need a port for one to actually use the physics.

SOF needed a physics card, as does Crysis, to run on Ultra high.
I have a friend who just built a real monster PC, with 2 8800 Ultra's in SLi, and he can't run Crysis in Ultra high. He needs a physics card, which costs about the same as an 8800GTX, but really isn't worth it. It's awesome that Video cards are now coming out with physics.
 
i read some post and watch some videos that say that it doesn't but thats why i wanna open the tread because i dont know nothing about physics i don't know how they work and that kinda stuffs so if u know something about it can u say what u know also i hear u need to graphics card to run physics 1 only for physics process and the other for graphic prosses that true? or false? how does this work
 
I'm not too sure on the whole physics thing myself. All I know is that the physics card costs the same as a really good Video card, and apparently the improvement from the physics card is about 5%.... Not too good for the price.
 
actually you can find a physX card for not too much, maybe 120 bucks... but i HAVE seen them give good improvements in crysis, they take a large burden off of the GPU, or so it seems.
 
Its about $140 for a physics card.
You dont need two graphics cards to have one and you dont need one to run Crysis on very high ;)

How do you get the Ultra high options (in Crysis) unlocked? Surely that is with a physics card? High is not a problem but Ultra High I would love to see.
 
my understanding of physics cards was that they had nothing to do with the graphics, they were just designed to take another load off the cpu, dealing with in game 'things', most likely I imagine, actual physics (ie, gravity, dispersion of bricks/dirt/objects/characters after an explosion).

It's cool all this is combining onto video cards now - it at least gives a reason for pci express-2 - the extra bandwidth might have a point now. I think it might all have to wait 3 years until my next computer though...

You mean very high, not ultra. Nope, no physics card ;)
PM me if you want, I'll send you some screenshots.
 
Thanks for the link man!

I wonder if it'll be just as good as the actual cards, in terms of performance... probably not though...
