Borderlands 2 PhysX Performance and PhysX Comparison - GTX 680 and HD 7970

[news 28]

What you may find unique in Borderlands 2 is that the game actually

allows you to enabled PhysX features at Low, Medium and High settings,

with either NVIDIA or AMD Radeon graphics cards installed in your

system. In past titles, like Batman: Arkham City and Mafia II, PhysX

was only able to be enabled (or at least at higher settings) if you

had an NVIDIA card. Many gamers that used AMD cards saw this as a

slight and we tended to agree. But since we could enable it with a

Radeon card installed, we were curious to see what the results would

be.

Quote: "For most NVIDIA GPU users, the additional PhysX effects are a

fun and simple way to increase the "cool" factor of your gaming

experience and you should be able to run at Medium or High pretty

easily. That is just one of the advantages you get with the NVIDIA

GeForce brand with this title. Mid-range AMD users will want to leave

PhysX at low for the best frame rates but if you have a high end

system and utilize a higher end Radeon GPU you can probably still get

away with the Medium setting."
