Hello guys,

I want to buy a Very cheap gpu in the future just to get Physx. The game will be run on the R9 290 or the R9 280x so.
I just want the cheapest one that does it without lagging and without to much power (no connecters if possible)
Thanks for reading

Regards,

I find the realism adds to the exprerience and game immersion, Realistic fog, smoke, leaves and trash effects that move when ya walk thru it. Footprints left in snow, Explosions send out chunks, flags, curtains move.

Odd thing is..... ya don't notice it as much from going with PhysX off to Physics on.....but going from On to Off is very noticeable., to my eyes anyway.

 
You better do some research on "Hybrid PhysX". I'm not sure how well it works these days since it hasn't been supported by any drivers over the past two years.

You also need to be real careful pairing a slow PhysX card with a high-end primary GPU. Something like a 220 will only hurt your performance. LinusTechTips has a video showing this, there are also several other resources.

The absolute best PhysX card is the new GTX 750 or GTX 750 Ti for their high CUDA core count, high clock speeds, and low power consumption.

It seems strange that you would be building a PC and planning from the beginning to go the Hybrid PhysX route, rather than just get a primary Nvidia card in the first place.

Thanks 17seconds and everyone for the information but here where i live the R9 280x is the best deal around.
And i don't "need" physx i just find it cool to have it :). Also i was looking at the 750 ti but it's to expensife now for only physx.
I'll do some more research about that hybrid thing.
EDIT: Is the GT 610 good enough (better then the amd fx 6300?)
