Turn it on and see if performance is degraded beyond 1-3 %...

My understanding was that PhysX calculations are no big deal nowadays, unlike 15 years ago when a second GPU was often used to offload those calculations alone...

As you are on a quad core, with only a GTX1050 (mobile?), my inclination would be to simply leave it off, guessing you want the highest/smoothest FPS possible....

Physx is used by only a few games for physics based "special effect" like leaves or cloth flattering in the wind, if you disable it you won't get these extra effect which you might not even notice.
The 1050 is the only card in your system that can run it so if you put in on there it will run.

If you put it on, it can affect performance very negatively.

If you put it on, it can affect performance very negatively.

Only if you run a game that has physix and then only if you turn on physix in that game and even then only if you turn it up very high.
Just enabling it alone will do nothing.
