Will I benefit from a nvidia GT 430 graphics card dedicated to Physx process?
I am building a new PC for nextgen gaming.
intel i5 760
4 GB ram ddr3 1600
gtx 560 ti 2GB
Windows 7 home premium 64bit Directx 11
I am thinking about shelling out another $50 for a GT 430 gpu to run as a dedicated Physx card. Does anyone know if I will get any significant boost in performance in doing this. I will be using it for Call of Duty, Battlefield 3, dragonage, testdrive, Mafia 2, Elderscrolls and such. One more question.
My last PC was win XP based (directX 9.c) will my older games still work with windows 7 64bit directX11 system, such as games that say win XP or Vista that were made before Win7.
Thanks for the help in advance.
So I'v already purchased the above parts, I had to put a cap on the cost somewhere. I was going to go with an i3 and a gtx 460 but decided to spend the extra $ to upgrade to the parts listed in the build. And though there are few physx games the ones out there seem to be 4 out of 5 stars Batman, dakest of days, dark void, metro 2033, Cryostasis ect. So would there be a significant increase in performance playing PhysX games?

Most games don't use Physx, I'd just forget it personally. Mafia 2 may benefit a little bit
You'd be better off using one 570 GTX than both of them together though. That's the card I have. And if you aren't building right this second, the i5 2500K would be a much better choice than the i5 760. Have the i7 2600K myself and they overclock pretty easily to 4-4.5 ghz using just a decent air cooler
Mine plays Oblivion like a champ, even with mods, improved textures, 1920 x 1080 screen, with 32AA & 16 AF. Everything pretty much maxed

the only game in that list that actually uses the physx feature is Mafia 2
there aren't a lot of games out their that do use GPU physx.
thats said, mafia 2 has really heavy physx, even my GTX 480 suffers without a dedicated physx card
GT430 should work but am not sure how well
if you can get a 9600GT the performance would be slightly better
anything aboe that should work pretty welll
personally i use a 9800GT for my dedicated physx
games that worked on vista should work on windows seven, haven't seen had any issues with that yet, i've also managed to get a lot of older games to work on windows 7 too
a lot of games, especially if they were popular will have a patch for windows 7 made by someone which you can download
hope this helps

i do no longer think of ATI/NVidia blend continues to be plausible, NVidia's advertising and marketing observed to that and if there is non-NVidia important card all CUDA processing intentionally switches off; couple with Ageia's admission that PhysX CPU coding became into at an exceedingly early inefficient point evaluate to PPU/CUDA NVidia needs you to bypass one hundred% NVidia even with the shown fact that no longer a lot of a income. PhysX is a CUDA difficulty and something after sequence 8 is going advantageous.
