Oh yeah enjoy Batman and Borderlands 2 . I think a 650 is overkill for phsyx dedicated.

More like a 9800 GT as phsyx or 460 1GB as phsyx.

I hope things pick up for Phsyx I mean I know its nice technology. I just hope more engines buy into it.

I myself am not happy nVidia touts phsyx but it doesn't exist in most games.
As I said if phsyx comes to Crytek 3 or UE4 then ITS WORTH IT!!!

Im just bitter it supports 3 games batman and dirt 3 and borderlands 2

anyhow didn't mean to bust the thread.

So why do you keep posting in it? You obviously are not going to be going Physx like everyone in the thread so just stay out of it.

This isn't a thread about if you think its worth it or not for you or about Crytek 3 or UE4 go create your own.

You keep posting this 9800 GT as phsyx or 460 1GB and everyone in here said they want the 650 for the lower power consumption. Those older cards will produce more noise and heat.

Do not forget the prices of those old cards. The 460 1GB is still selling for $120+ in most places in the US. 9800 GTs can still be purchased new for $60+. Sorry but I'm not going to buy a card that's been used & abused for years when it wont even save me money.

The GTX 650 super clocked model can be had for less than the GTX 460. It uses less power and has GDR5 ram. Not to mention that it vents completely out the back of the case & is compact in design.

That is why many of us are looking at that model as a PhysX only card.
