Terminator Salvation PhysX CPU|GPU side-by-side Comparison

[linuxpowerification]

well what cpu is that?

[matteuklol]

how much fps does physx eat?

[lesleyhenriquez]

@matteuklol If you have a dedicated extra cards for physx it may add a few, otherwise it depends entirely in the game and how heavy the physics are. Mafia 2 and Arkham Asylum are notorious for eating frames when physx at max.

[AliceinNirvanagarden]

No shit with everything running on the cpu anything would lag that bad.

[DeadPixel00]

Will the next generation of consoles be able to fully integrate PhysX?

[pabsensi]

thumbs down if your computer goes like the one on the left

[TheFXGuy]

@pabsensi mine would run like the right off just CPU or on the GPU. Quad core i7 ftw

[Flodice]

@TheFXGuy no, it would not. A decent GPU is faster than a i7.

[calumknight1984]

@Flodice actually not entirely true in certain things a gpu is better than a cpu in others the cpu is better, in this case gpu's are far better at physics and graphics (gpu's were made to take the graphics off the cpu in the first place)

[brt5470]

Are they running this on a AMD XP 2100+?

[T3hMarz]

lol what is the card on the left? a x3100?

[Gamer686]

Get a physx card

[rafakragspikedrunk]

this video is shit.  xD

[kittyburger000]

@rafakragspikedrunk LOL this is Comparison! The left is a CPU driven physx test.

The right is a Nvidia GPU driven test...

[magicedaa]

Intel Core i7-720QM 4x1,60GHz (Turbo 2.80GHz) 6MB cache

Kingston: 8GB DDR3-1066 RAM DualChannel

harddrive: 500GB 7200RPM

ATI HD5650 1GB GDDR3 dedicated RAM (DirectX 11)

[downesey1990]

on batman, high physx recommends a GTX260 and a dedicated 9800gt, however i can run at 40-60 fps with an overclocked zotac gtx260. nvidia really want you to buy a card for physx. id rather buy another gtx 260 and SLI it

[Z4uberwuerfel]

I can run Batman on all high and high PhysX with an 9800GT 1GB without any lags xD

[Mulfia]

1.8gb GTX260, 12 ddr3 gb ram, i7 950 cpu, seems run just perfect for me..

[Z4uberwuerfel]

*gg* It should be^^ Would be bad if not :P

[CanesVenetici]

that's funny, cpu physics worked fine on Ghostbusters. Propaganda anyone? Anyone?

[norwaygy]

there is a difference this is a special physics engine that is meant to create a realistic atmosphere for the player it is nvidia's physX engine that requires a nvidia graphics card with nvidia physX

[CanesVenetici]

I realize the difference between the different engines. But there is more than one way to accomplish physics. Nvidia would have you believe that you NEED another video card. With so many dual and quad core cpu's out there it just makes more sense to utilize that relatively untapped power than to force another GPU, another power draw, another source of heat, etc....
