Nvidia’s done with PhysX, it seems.

TLDR: NVIDIA removed support for PhysX with the 50 series GPUs, resulting in worse performance with PhysX games than previous GPU generations

    That list has some incredibly popular games on it… Hardly rage bait if you’ll get worse performance in the greatest AC game to have come out.

      Yeah you are going to get “horrible” 100fps lows in AC4 and borderlands 2 whit physx enabled.

      How many of the two dozen games affected were already capped engine wise to 60 or 30fps because of console ports? If you can afford 5000-series then you probably also have a processor that can more than enough offset the GPUs workload. AC4 for example came out when gtx 980 was bleeding edge. It’s just what AMD GPU users have been living with for decades, and not even really noticing. Even my three gen old low tier AMD laptop with integrated graphics can eek out 30+ fps in mirrors edge with physX on and all graphics maxed. I’m sure all of these games will be fine.

        No those games are not fine on 50 series GPUs, they can actually drop down to 10 fps or lower
