I wouldnt spend alot of money on one, if you can pick one up cheap like a GTS 450, or 250GTS,but i wouldnt go below a 8800GT, I have seen people using a nvidia 430 gpu for physx. My advice would be spend as little as you can for a card. Try and pick one up locally in your city on craigslist or something, or if you find a good deal on one new, then i would do that.
I run 2 x 6870 in crossfire and a GTX 260 for physx. well i did untill i sold the 260GTX before christmas,and picked up a zotac GTS450 used for 30 bucks, works like a charm.
@SylentCommando Think I should get a dedicated card for physx (I'm going to be running 2x6950's (Or 1x I haven't decided yet)? Does it really help enough to be worth buying?
yep i use to run a amd 5850 and 8800gt for physx, any 8,9,200,400,500, series gpu's will work. you will notice a difference in Batman Arkham city for sure. try it without it and with it, you will see the difference.
great upgrade man, finally upgrading the old 9800GTX. do you have 2 pci-e x 16 slots? you should run 560ti for rendering and 9800gtx for physx processing.
Hey man i have a Modular OCZ 550w PSU with a 6 and an 8 pin. Im pretty sure it has like 28+ amps and like 12v on the rails. You think that would be fine to run this card?
@XxViciousxX It Might, As long as he doesn't have too much other shit running of his PSU (I.E. 5 HDDs or an OC'd 8core) I had a 5870, 5 HDDs, 955BE OC'd to 4Ghz, and 5 fans running on a 530w.
is this card better than a GTX570?

@AssassinsCreed305 by a bit yes also overclocks better its actually about as fast as a stock 580 @900 core clock.

@SylentCommando i have 3 pci-e slots but is the 9800gt ultimate powerful enough to be used for physx?

@TheGreen01Machine EVGA says Minimum of a 550 power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 38 Amps so that may not cut it unfortunately.
