GTX 275 512

[Babalooe]

I have new GTX 570HD card. Replacing a GTX275. I have been using an 8800GTS 512 card for physx support with the GTX275. Is there any benefit of swapping the GTX 275 as the Physx card? I have a 1kW Cosair PSU, so power needs are not an issue, but if there is no real benefit, then probably better to stick with lower power hungry 8800GTS.

My understanding is that physx can use up to 32 cuda cores. So, it would seem that the 8800gts would do fine. Even a lesser card would meet that requirement.

But, since you will have both, why not try both configurations to see if you can tell the difference?

is this for gaming and will you play games that support/utilize physx? (e.g. batman, metro 2033 et al)
