Is a physics card actually a worth while investment for game performance? There is no way I can afford one for my new build, but it was something I am considering for the future.
A vacant PCI 2.0 or higher slot
Add-in graphics card supporting Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 2.0 or higher
Ethereal_Dragon said:yeah, it should, as it uses a PCI slot, not PCI express.... I would check the requirements for the Physics card though.... EDIT: according to Newegg specs:
BUT, if you can't afford one, I wouldn't worry about it, as the technology is still in it's infancy... Needs MUCH more time to mature, and make its way into more games.
