I am concerned with the Idea that if Nvidia is able to get a higher score because of Physx, why do some have it enabled and some dont. I mean its shows how much the GPU can help with Processing.
I have ran 3d MK V for awhile now, and everything I turn off Physx, its blows my mind how much the score drops.
Is it fair? Well no, but thats not Nvidia's fault. I love having Physx enabled, even if only a few games use it. What is does do however in other aspecs is allow me to see how much my GPU's can help compute over a normal processor.
I guess my question is, if they were to compare products for what they can possibly achieve, then leave what the cards can do alone instead.
If you play a game with Physx enable doesnt it make some things look better like in Batman? So shouldnt they post that the Nvidia card is better than ATI?
Just a thought.
