The frame rate drop under games that utilize PhysX at its native resolution is so aggressive that a 30 FPS dip in performance means a game becomes unplayable.<\/em><i>     <br \/><em>Going through the ol&#8217; NewEgg.com and looking at some USA based For Sale forums, I found out that for about the same price as a GTX 480 you could buy a GTX 470 and a second hand GTX 260 to use as a PhysX card. Also, because you&#8217;re going NVIDIA with NVIDIA, you don&#8217;t have to worry about poor support from drivers since NVIDIA promote this kind of setup. So, with a GTX 480, GTX 470 and GTX 260 on hand, we show you how $500 can be best spent if PhysX is something that you&#8217;re really after.&quot;<\/em><\/i>    <br \/><strong>For more information, please visit &#8211; <a href=\"%5bredirect=http:\/www.tweaktown.com\/articles\/3348\/the_best_500_nvidia_physx_setup\/index.html\">http:\/\/www.tweaktown.com\/articles\/3348\/the_best_500_nvidia_physx_setup\/index.html<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QUOTE: &quot;Some of my best article ideas come from forums.
