I find this very hard to believe, particularly in high resolution situations. How can Card 1 doing both Graphics and PhysX be faster than Card 1 doing just graphics with slower Card 2 taking the PhysX load?

Because the slower card can be a bottleneck, forcing the game engine to wait for the slower card to finish it's calculations, before moving on.

The Titan has the juice to run Metro 2033: Last light WITH advanced PhysX...I don't know if the 8800GT is powerfull enough to drive the Advanced PhysX in Metro 2033 Last light....but I doubt it.

Its quite simple actually...introduce a bottleneck....performance suffers.

no need to theorize as you can look at reviews and see that the 650 ti is just a little bit faster than the 460.

Sometimes it just feels like I'm participating more if I explain things on my own. :sneaky:
