Would a physx, help in overall gaming performance? Or does it only help on physx supported games?

There's a reason those went from a cool Idea to a useless metal square.

only on games saying it supports nvidia and phyx. i.e. mirror edge, ut3...

UT3 has only a few maps specially designed for physx, other than that it doesn't support it. Nobody plays the physx maps online so it's generally useless.

Oh i thought ut3 supports it. Hmmm, i guess mirror edge is the only new game that supports it fully.

It'll catch on. We saw the same trail for DX 10. which still isnt that great.

LOL try playing mirrors edge on a 4850! I get like 15 fps when i have phyx on, its like a slideshow.

Is there really a lot of difference effect-wise when you have physx enable/disabled in mirror edge?

^^^
There's more particle effects from breaking glass in that one shootout scene in the penthouse loft, but you have to run out of there too fast to even see it happening. Also there's a plastic drape you move through that looks more realistic at one point.

So not really, no.

What happens in UT3 I can't see a difference. :shrug:

Didn't even know that there was physx in UT3. I gave up on that game cause everytime i played it it was pixelated

In mirrors edge there are lots of nice little touches with physics on. There's a bit where your running along scaffolding with some drapes on it. A guy pops out and if you kick him hard enough he rips though it and it looks great. There's a lot of little stuff basically.
