In the mean time I'm reading the game I got the card for (ARMA III and Metro: Last Night) are in need of Physx in order to enjoy them fully. What are AMD planning to do about this?! I'm thinking of canceling the order due Monday in order to buy a Nvidia card. Only if I knew this first I would not order AMD! WTF is up with this?! Is this thing real?? Thanks Edited: 02/23/2013 at 10:26 AM by Sblast

You may also blame game developers for being too lazy to implement more cpu physics, you don't really need a gpu doing that job. And finally.. PhysX renders client side only, so in (mostly) multiplayer games like Arma III, you will see things that others don't for that extra bit of cunfusion and eye candy. ------------------------- Intel I7 3770K @ 4.5ghz, Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H, Gigabyte HD7970 ghz edition, 4x4gb Kingston HyperX Beast 2133mhz, Seasonic Platinum 860, OCZ Vertex 4 128gb, WD Black 1TB, WD Green 3TB+1.5TB, ASUS Xonar Essence ST, ASUS VE278Q, Windows 3.11

I hope AMD will move their *** and implement something to override this problem or replace it, because gamers ain't gonna give up on graphic features. That's the bloody reason they buy a GPU in the first place. To get all the eye-candy features. And I've bought a top end GPU, that I'm returning now. So I'm returning my AMD and buying an INVIDIA even thou I need to put in extra cash to get the same frame rates. Frame rates ain't worth it when you lack a whole feature. See you again when you fix this freaking huge problem.** And no, game bundles and higher frame rates for a lower price won't make up for it in the long run. Thanks for wasting my time.

DirectCompute, Havok, and a few others are open source Physics options, some games use them, most don't, especially nVidia The Way It's Meant To Be Played sponsored studios. So why don't you go complain to the game studio for using a proprietary technology instead of a cross platform one, or just do like the rest of us and don't worry about it, who cares if you don't see a leaf blowing by or a shell casing bouncing off the ground. ------------------------- Crosshair IV Formula, Phenom II x4 965 w/ Corsair H60, 8 GiB OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600, XFX HD 7970 Ghz, 512GB Vertex 4, 256GB Vector, 240GB Agility 3, Creative X-Fi Titanium w/ Creative Gigaworks S750, SeaSonic X750, HP ZR2440w, Win 7 Ultimate x64

Try and make the customers happy. For your own sake AMD! lol, so what do you care about when it comes to graphic? Physx on Borderlands 2 was much more impressive and future versions of physx are coming out that will even be better.

My Intel Cpu goes mostly unused in games when I have about 8(6 use able) cores it can use with out issue. ------------------------- <html />

Are you really that incapable of looking it up with Google, but you are more than capable enough of coming in here to cry about it? I think your trolling so this thread is locked. I suggest you go read up on it. Cheers ------------------------- The opinions expressed above do not represent those of Advanced Micro Devices or any of their affiliates.
