00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:06.680
so we haven't looked into physx since like 2011 and for some pretty good

00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:11.000
reasons actually but we'll get into that later looking back at the last physx

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:15.280
video we released we noticed quite the demand in the comment section for a

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:19.000
modern follow-up so we'll do that and try a bunch of different scenarios and

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:23.939
add some more information to the

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:34.320
pool Intel skull Canyon Nook features a six generation core i7 processor and

00:00:32.279 --> 00:00:38.120
Thunderbolt 3 you can learn more at the link in the video

00:00:36.040 --> 00:00:42.120
description so a few different questions will be raised and hopefully answered in

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:47.520
this video we're going to look at the full range of current 1000 series NVIDIA

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:52.559
Pascal gpus and how they perform while running alongside a physx focused

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:57.000
lower-end GPU we're going to try to find what is the best bang for your buck in

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:02.079
if you're shopping for a physx card and we're going to try to figure out roughly

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:07.600
if it's worth it to add your old card to your new system as a physx GPU or if you

00:01:05.320 --> 00:01:12.560
should just sell it then last but not least we'll I'll just have some fun with

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:18.600
some ludicrous setups like 1080 with a 1080 physx card and that's insane so why

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:23.200
not in order to test all of these scenarios we needed some games our

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:27.880
chosen games were Assassin's Creed Black Flag Metro last Light Fallout 4 and

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:32.560
Batman Arkham Knight one of the most controversial releases of recent years

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:37.280
so right away with Assassin's Creed Black Flag and Fallout 4 it just seems

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:42.119
that having a physx card really doesn't do anything but Metro last Light does

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:47.840
show relatively minor increases across the board and then boom holy benchmarks

00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:52.399
Batman out of nowhere like a thug in a dark alley maybe too soon it's been a

00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:57.799
while the Batman benchmarks did show significant improvements with a

00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:00.240
dedicated physx card and yeah let's dive

00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:04.680
deeper we'll start with the GTX 106 we first paired it with the

00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:08.920
gt730 now the gt730 is a really card if you're wondering why check out

00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:14.640
this video when paired with this shitty card it lost five frames per second on

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:19.959
average rough when moving up to the 750 Ti however we saw an overall Improvement

00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:21.720
of about 2.5 FPS not a huge gain but

00:02:19.959 --> 00:02:26.200
it's something to work with stepping up a little bit to the 1070 we saw a

00:02:23.519 --> 00:02:32.720
similar story but to more extremes with the 1030 as a physx card we saw a loss

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:36.280
of 11 FPS then with the 750 we saw a

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:38.519
gain of 5 FPS so cool again when looking

00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:45.239
at the 1080 we saw extremes paired with the 730 it dropped almost 16 FPS with

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:47.480
the 750 it gained just over 5 FPS and

00:02:45.239 --> 00:02:54.360
going up from there we seem to max out at a gain of about 6 to S even when the

00:02:51.239 --> 00:02:58.120
dedicated card was just another 1080

00:02:54.360 --> 00:03:00.120
which is crazy whoa okay so one of the

00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:04.239
cool things here is all of of the particle effects that are just

00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.959
everywhere the smoke the little Sparks there's a bunch of different stuff in

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:12.120
this scene and that's why this game benefits so much from fizx but as you

00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:16.040
can see right now it's choppy it doesn't feel very good and that's because we're

00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:22.080
running with the GTX 730 if you check out in the bottom corner here you can

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:24.799
see the utilization of both gpus the 730

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:31.040
is doing a lot of work but the 1080 is barely working at all the 1080 is GPU 1

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:32.920
the 730 is GPU 2 now with the 750 Ti you

00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:36.200
can see it's much more smooth the particle effects are all running fine

00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:39.959
it's not choppy anymore all that kind of good stuff and again we come down to the

00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:44.120
corner you can see that the utilization of the first card is not being hampered

00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:47.280
at all it's able to go full bore all the time which is why everything's much more

00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:51.959
smooth the physics card is able to operate on its own and do everything it

00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:58.079
needs to while not hampering the actual normal GPU and with that the sales of

00:03:54.760 --> 00:04:00.439
GTX 750 Ti and 760's go through the

00:03:58.079 --> 00:04:07.079
freaking roof NVIDIA mails us a check for $1 billion we buy 12 new office

00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:10.360
buildings each for one of Linus' Lambos

00:04:07.079 --> 00:04:12.640
and troll away into the night not so

00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:17.720
fast little Lambo lonus not so fast there are like an embarrassingly low

00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:22.199
amount of games that support physx and not that many come around the corner

00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:26.199
that will either a hard sell for someone that could just flip their old graphic

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:30.320
card for more lunch money or avoid buying a physx card altogether so in the

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:36.280
end the answer is it's just not worth it unless you really

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:42.280
really like Batman games or for some other very intensely physx title and

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:44.520
there really aren't many of them so good

00:04:42.280 --> 00:04:48.000
luck if you like this video like it and get subscribed if you dislike this video

00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:52.120
and you're like dude don't make a thugs in an alley joke about Batman that's

00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:56.840
just rude dislike it uh if you want a shirt or any of the things that you saw

00:04:54.440 --> 00:05:00.400
us use like graphics cards in this video you can check links in the video

00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:06.120
description below including to Amazon if you want to see another video that we've

00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:08.120
released check out this one on uh why

00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:11.639
SLI is crazy right now like what the hell is going on with SLI cuz it's it's

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:15.800
nuts directx12 who knows
