    I think he was partly right, nvidia probably does charge extra for features like physx and the other stuff already mentioned by spets

    I think AMD should jack there prices up a couple of hundred for Mantle.

    If you think you would miss physx then just get a cheap add-on 640GT 384core for 60-80€, that should be enough to run that unoptimized code

    And you'll still save some money :)

    well i liked borderlands 2 and metro LL also looks great. and what about the witcher 3 ? looks great too.
    I wouldnt want to buy a gpu to use with 2 year old drivers to get physx working. but thats just me i guess.

    I would never buy a gpu just for a game



    Speaking of that issue it does work with latest physx

    remove space in link :)

    so yeah R9-280x + cheap 450gts, etc would be enough. Someone said older 450gts would be better then 640gt because of higher compute perf.

    Hi Guys!

    i notice a strange thing with my 280x dc2top . my default set in gputweak (2.4.7.0) is 1132mv . MAX allowed: 1232mv WT..???

    gpu-z reads: VDDC default voltage (with load): 1.100v (+/-) . VDDC max voltage (with load) : 1.188v (+/-)



    I can't control the voltage using any other software (CCC \ AB ) .... what is hapening here ??? even using 1232mv , i see allways 1200mv on the top corner using kumbustor (AIDA shows the same thing)
