Dedicated PhysX with my new GTX 1080 or NOT??

[FarmerFran]

Here is my build;

Case – NZXT Phantom Full Tower
PS – EVGA SuperNova 1300W
MB – Gigabyte Z170 Gaming-7
CPU – I7-6700K CPU w- Kraken X31
RAM – 16GB Trident 3400MHz PC4-27200
SSD – Samsung 950 Pro M.2 512GB
OS – Win10 64-bit

I am getting a nvidia GTX 1080 FE - should be here Tuesday.

Currently I run two EVGA GTX 780 SC in SLI. I am puttung one 780 in my wife's machine.

So that meas I will have

1 free - GTX 780 SC
1 free - GTX 660 (from my wife's PC)

My question is... should I run a dedicated PhysX with the 780 or 660 or not at all?

Well I guess I will be the guinea pig Really right now the only game I will play with PhysX is Fallout 4. But I play that a lot so...

a 1080 should easily handle everything itself


>.> you really should have waited, the reference cooler has trouble maintaining boost clocks

Nope. It will be just fine.

You won't need a dedicated PhysX card for Fallout 4. If you played Borderlands or Batman, then maybe. With Fallout 4 you'll have all the FPS you need and then some. This chart is with Weapon Debris and everything else set to Ultra.
