Ageia physX card worth it?

[veg1992]

Thought so, never know with the stupid Dx crap and compatibility makes me kinda mad that only vista will use Dx10.. and i don't like vista too much

lol... get in line... not many ppl are fans of Vista, but the tweaking and such is going on... it'll probably be decent around Sp1 time...

yeah, and i think i may hold off on 8 series cards for a little bit.. i have a 7900gt as of now, not sure if it's worth it to get a $370 card yet

The 8800GTS 320 is only around $250-270. Well the 7900GT can still hold up on it's own, with most games, on reasonable settings.

i'm looking at the 8800 gts 640mb (320-bit)

Newegg.com - EVGA 640-P2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

Forget the 640mb version, as it doesn't have a significant increase over the 320mb. Just because it has double the memory, doesn't mean double the performance. Save yourself the money.

 

[BonKerz]

would it be worth upgrading to the 320mb 320-bit 8800gts for the $270 from a 7900gt (mind i don't have vista and can't use Dx10)
actually yes, i'm sure it is, clock speeds and memory seem to blow my card away.. and 96 stream processors

would it be worth upgrading to the 320mb 320-bit 8800gts for the $270 from a 7900gt (mind i don't have vista and can't use Dx10)

not really, IMO.

 

[b1gapl]

Agreed with nagasama. The 7900GT is still a good card. I'd suggest you wait, until the 9 series arrives.

 

[veg1992]

no way.. not much of a performance increase...

doesnt matter if the game supports it or not

it will take the physics aspect of any game, and help take some load off the video card. and give usually a few (not more than 10) FPS
