• PCI 2.2 allows for 66 MHz signalling (requires 3.3 volt signalling) (peak transfer rate of 533 MB/s)
• PCI 2.3 permits use of 3.3 volt and universal keying, but does not allow 5 volt keyed add in cards.

lol.. this felt like when I didnt have a decent computer trying to play BF1942 with max bots.. I think I got 1fps.. maybe 2.

Amd 1.8ghz x2 nivida geforce go 7600 1gb memory.. you really need something maxed out to play this game..

Well, it did pretty good with my G-force 8800 and E6600. I could see some pretty good visuals with settings maxed out but my movement was choppy. With some of then turned to medium it was much better. Having personally seen another game played with the card installed I can pretty much guess what I am missing. Oh well, someday.

Did you try online play, did you loose FPS over time? I put mine on minimum settings and at the beginning of the online play it was pretty decent, but after about a minute it became unplayable.

No, I don't want to play online when my CPU is trying to do physX. A guy I know has one though so I have seen some demos and special levels in another game that looked so awesome.

Thanks I asked because I was looking into buying one and they all seem to spec 2.3 or 3.0 pci slots and mine is 2.2 but I found that alll should work on a 2.0 slot or better. I bought one and am overnighting it Ill let you all know how much of a difference it makes.

My machine is pery much like jumps 4core 8800gtx 4 gigs of ram.

BTW scorch now that I have one I take it Jumpgate Evolution will make use if it

I almost bought one on Ebay a while back but someone outbid me. Now I can't afford it. Maybe when they come out with a PCI-E one I will have some cash.

wow the physx card makes a huge difference I can run warmonger at 2560 *1600 and it runs smooth as glass.

The system specs for this game are way way above my system.

I am looking at building a new system sometime next year.

Guess Ill have to wait till then.

Newegg has a deal for a PhysX card for $99

[Jump]

Oh never mind, it's a rebate. I hate rebate offers.

[netburnr]

Me too, I never get the mail in rebates.

I support the stores that said no the the manufacturers and their crap, and forced the manufacturers to do instant store credit instead.
