you only loose 2 fps so really it's not a MAJOR loss like some people state.It's 2 FPS your loosing get the censored over it.and yes I have a BFG PhysX card and it doesn't JUST improve on some effects but also takes some or even most of the strain off of the CPU by doing the physics caculations for the CPU.

Bone.......you don't even need the actual Physics card........from what I've read with the latest drivers, you just need a old 8800GT and and a dedicated card for GPU services.......the old 8800 GT will be for the Physics and the other card for actual GPU services as the new drivers dedicate each.

nVidia bought Ageia and their PhysX software. For those who thought the GPU is unable to handle the extra load of physics effects, should have been eating their words long ago. Everything from the GeForce8 cards and up can now perform PhysX calculations via CUDA. nVidia's newest drivers should be able to handle PhysX-exlusive maps now in UT3.

I noticed,pretty much I'm running on obsolete hardware,like the Pentium 4 Hyperthreading 3.06 gighz processor I have. oh well not like UT2k4 or even UT3 or hell ANY source engine game runs like a slide show unless I give or take a few things graphicly here or there (except for UT2k4 since it runs LOVELY on everything maxed.)

BoneofMalkav, you are running on something close to my old setup and trust me it gets better with newer cards and processors. and Arch. and sain are correct it does not give you any better performance just new effects you did not have B4
