Dedicated physx card

[graemeneilan]

Hi all. I need a little help, I currently have a GTX 1060 6GB as my main you and have a Evga GTX 760 2gb SC as surplus but I want utilise it as a dedicated physx card. I don't want to sell the card. My question is if I use the 760 as a dedicated physx card would it take some work load off the 1060 ?.

In games that use physx sure, the batman games would be an example. In games that don't use physx which is the vast majority of games, it wont do anything.

Only on games that utilise PhysX and even then the performance gain can be questionable. I personally wouldn't bother with it.

Do you play any GPU accelerated games? They are rather few and far between. As mentioned above there are few that support it. And you do have a pretty strong card already. The 760 is also a rather strong card to use for that. Personally I'd sell it for $50-60 and spend the money on something.

PhysX is fairly dead. In the reviews I read all showed the PhysX card needed to be close to the power of the main gpu otherwise it would actually slow down the system. Pairing a 760 with a 1060 is more likely to be a hindrance than a help.
