Oh yeah you can ofcourse do it. My point was your FPS would be much higher if you turned it off. Physics is always going to be expensive, unfortunately.

I wasn't! But I always preferred hardware upgrades over monitor upgrades especially prior to my 680 when I was more concerned about not being able to run things at full res well.

Talking about my 680 I think it's due an upgrade soon... Drops to 30fps on borderlands 2 with extreme physx.

I have everything maxed with my 560ti and it runs fine.

I get 100 to 120fps until lots of physx stuff is going on.

Doesn't grant me much FPS at all, same for Metro2033 which I turn off AA and PhysX to try to get me over the 40fps mark when I don't have a badass card lol.
Mirror's Edge didn't lag me either, or Mafia 2.

Maybe it's just me then. I'll tell you what does kill performance, nvidia surround over three screens. I received some more cash today so picked up my 3rd monitor. Thought I was going to get it with next months wages but turns out I didn't have to wait more than a day after getting my first two.

Have always wanted matching triple monitors.

Make sure that PhysX is set to the GPU and not auto.

Personally I'd be happy with a 27" 1600p for video and games, with my current monitor flipped 90 degrees for actual work.
