Matsozetex 89 Report post Posted September 15, 2017 I've heard rumours about having a dedicated PhysX GPU increasing minimum frames. Just want to ask: (1) Does it actually effect the game and (2) what effect does it have on the game, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farqman 86 Report post Posted December 4, 2017 I tried this on my system. I have a 6700k @4.6ghz, 32gb Ram and 1080ti’s in SLI. Arma doesn’t play nice with SLI as PIP has flickering which is annoying. Normally I just run it on a single card. i set the second card to be dedicated PhysX and I didn’t notice any difference, I did however suffer s few game crashes. Can’t remember exactly, but I think it was Access Violations....I think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farqman 86 Report post Posted December 4, 2017 Arma isn’t on the games list https://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/physx/games So that would be why I suppose. Doesn’t hurt to try things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
