Sillywabbit 10 Posted May 29, 2014 So i was asking if adding another card, setting it for PhysX only in the nivida control pannel would help with the FPS issues. Someone reply saying its currently hard coding for CPU only, why? Surely having extra strain with PhysX on a already CPU heavy game is not a good idea? If nivida is willing to put the time in to allow us to use a PhysX on a another GPU why has BI not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted May 29, 2014 You'd think it would make sense wouldn't you? Unfortunately BIS doesn't want to alientate some people that don't have Nvidia cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fushko 59 Posted May 29, 2014 That's not how it works. Game uses CPU PhysX. Which means it's not for eye-candy like GPU PhysX (Client-side APEX accelerated particles, that have nothing to do with gameplay). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just want more fps =/ the options are their, i want to be able to use them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Execandy PhysX can be set by developer to make use of a PhysX compatible GPU (nVidia). Non-nVidia user will get less eyecandy but this isn't really a problem. On the other hand, gameplay relevant PhysX has to be compatible for all users, not just nVidia customers. Therefor the PhysX is set to run on the CPU so everyone get the same result on-screen which is relevant for the gameplay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not everything in Physx can be accelerated by a CUDA card. The stuff that get benefits from the cards are mostly about particles (like the sparks from the welder in Metro Last Light). Arma is only using parts of the library that can't be accelerated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
