PC Gamingthese effects will not be on consoles or PC's without Nvidia cards.
is there a nvidia gameworks or physx demo I can try. I need to test something out
I was running A New Dawn lastnight, but I don't think it uses physx. shyt is demanding though
the Metro benchmarks use physx
it does, but I think my physx is fukked up. It works in batman arkham city with the particles, but I didn't really see any particles in the metro benchmark. I think something is wrong
do a clean install of the driver
good idea
I used DDU, and I just can't tell if it's working or not. I thought there were more particles with advanced physics on with the metro last light benchmark, but I just watched a youtube video and it looks the same as mine. I wish there was some other way to test if my physx is working or not
These consoles are honestly pathetic, anyone else check out the Unreal Kite Demo? Without these shyt boxes dragging everything else down we'd have Toy Story level graphics.
I was thinking about this yesterday, but the market spoke. The majority of the console crowd refuses to pay $500 for a gaming machine and as a result we now have a generation that is under powered for the next couple of years.
Something tells me that Sony and Microsoft will introduce their next gen consoles in 2017, the idea of another console generation lasting 8 years is unrealistic with the way technology advances now.
well, my phsyx is working. Metro last light benchmark just didn't show it well, but once I shot a wall, I saw tons of debris and particles. 
i agree. gpu's in the xb1 and ps4 are on par with a gtx 660.
lol if they stretch this gen for 8 years.
at the progress being held back on the PC side.The $200 yearly cycle is inevitable at this point IMO. No optical drives, no more unnecessary bs like kinect.i agree. gpu's in the xb1 and ps4 are on par with a gtx 660.
lol if they stretch this gen for 8 years.
Run on a 3 year support cycle for these things
2013 model is released and supported until late 2016
2014 model support till 2017
2015 model support till 2018
Architecture from here on out is not going to change much anymore. Every previous year can be knocked down to "medium" and then eventually "low" settings capable in the eyes of developers. No OS updated after 3 cycles, Sony and Microsoft have a huge backlog that people can enjoy for years to come. Focus on getting the emulation right for legacy and clearly the support for new piff.
The Witcher 3 can run on a i5 2500K or Phenom II X4 940 and a GTX 660. You mean to tell me they can't holla at AMD to get an APU system built around something similar and release something for $200? The Controller doesn't come in the package anymore, you buy one and that is your controller for the foreseeable future.
