When you run games on 3D you need doubble Graphic power. Your card needs to (in a way) produce 2 pictures in red and "cyan" (blue) on the same time which it connects to 1 picture on your screen.

Pretty steep reqs, I believe Metro and Batman had similar but not quite as high with 480/285 for Apex High settings. As for what it'll take in 3D Vision, I'll wait and see as 3D Vision's 60FPS cap provides quite a bit of GPU overhead for PhysX so I think I'll be OK with 2x480. The game's PhysX previews are impressive though.

Well, I'll have all of that on my next build. But that won't be till next year, tax time. Already have the gtx 285, next build i plan on sli 470s or better depending on prices at that time. :)

hopefully this title actually works in 3d- everyone should remember the bioshock 2 3d scam- this is the same company. i sure wont forget being ripped off by 2k. i bought that game early and was totally disappointed by the 3d. i have actually never played the game- i just deleted it and bought a real 3d ready game.

PS- there is no 60 frames cap for my DLP 3d setup! i get over an hundred frames in batman in 3d!!

You could probably force Vsync in the driver in that case if its not forcing Vsync by default, otherwise you're just wasting GPU time that would be better spent on PhysX or reducing temps/power consumption.

thats very true chiz- but i have found that i like the look of 3d more with vsync off ( it seems smoother to me). and i have a dedicated physX card.

Crikey, thats prety dam crazy recomendations.

i wonder if they are still implementing what they said to be the best car damage in to any game? and wether that could tie into the daft phyx requirements? lol i loved the car damange in the first one :P it was mint.

Either way, carnt wait for this game :P

If you have a single Fermi card you are probably better off just adding a second card for SLI then adding something like a 460GTX to an existing 480GTX or 470GTX. You will get the extra performance for all games and not just for the small handful of games that support hardware physx. I added my old 9800GT into my current setup and noticed hardly any performance increase on my current SLI system. From what I have read it seems a dedicated physx card is good on a single card system but wasted on a SLI rig. If you are going to pay $300 or so for just a physx card you may as well pony up a little more and go SLI instead.

...maybe until storm of war comes out it will be the best at vehicle damage but I doubt it.

you are wrong about sli and physX.

i get a big performance increase with sli and a dedicated physX card. sli with a physX card is the fastest current 3d rig you can build today- because tri and quad sli still does not work in 3d.

But the reality is that very few games use physx heavily. Batman is uses it the most of all the games i have. I get like 20 more FPS with a dedicated physX card with SLI fermi's. Metro plays much smoother on my system with a dedicated physX card (but does not use very much physX effects- so the performance benefit is less noticeable. PhysX card allows me to run more graphics quality. But, the fermi series cards do very well switching between physX rendering and graphics rendering- so a dedicated physX card is not necessary for good performance.

You are right that adding sli over dedicated phsX would be faster on single GPU rigs- but it could depend on how heavily the game uses physX.
