phazer11 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I don't know what made me think of it but has anyone tried taking Physx calculations off the GPU and put it on the CPU? I don't think Skyrim has too many PhysX calculations and I would imagine it eats up some VRAM which is then mirrored into SODIMM RAM. On top of that I don't think Skyrim gains any performance from Hardware PhysX. Though is this a moot point as Skyrim uses Havok Physics? I can't recall if Havok makes use of PhysX acceleration on Nvidia cards. This is mostly a theoretical question but I'm going to try it out.

Aiyen Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Havok and physX are two different physics engines so physX have no impact (to my knowledge, please do correct me if I am wrong!) in Skyrim at all. It requires games that are made for it, like Metro last light I believe. I believe we had a nice discussion about it a while back when debating the finer points in AMD vs Nvidia.
