Re: Physx Question
It will stop running without it - however, the standard installer for Vantage has a 'non-NVIDIA' version of PhysX, which should remain installed if one removes NVIDIA's package.

Re: Physx Question
I only have one version under the uninstall manager, and if I uninstall I cant benchmark, i'll just leave it alone. Howevery the physx doesn't mess with any game performance right other than 3d vantage it remains off, correct?

Re: Physx Question
3DMark Vantage does use PhysX even on ATI cards - to do the physics test on the CPU. PhysX is not NVIDIA specific unless it is running effects that are GPU PhysX specific.

Re: Physx Question
hi guys
i have a XFX 5870 with a core i7 860 clocked at 3.64ghz on my system, and when i run Vantage everything else is fine except for CPU test 2: physics. i only got 40 or so points on this test, which means my CPU score is at 20000 or so. this is really low considering when i had my old Q9550 clocked at 3.83GHz with a GTX 260 i managed to get 44000 or so on the CPU section. As far as i can see this is all due to Physx.
