Greetings!
I know there is at least one game on the market (Batman Arkham Asylum) that cannot be fully experienced without Nvidia cards due to Phsyx. While the game may only have minor differences when played on an Ati card, there are details missing. I cannot recall exactly what the differences are, but I seem to remember cloth or other some such banners and some similar objects completely missing on Ati machines. As for eventually switching to a pair of 470`s, the Nvidia cards are supposed to be better than the Ati dx11 cards anyway. I seem to recall that the 470 is almost the equal of Ati`s greatest, while the 480 easily overtakes their flagship.

Quote:Physx and Havoc are overrated. There's no reason to offload these things to the video cards when CPUs aren't really being challenged in games (most of the bottleneck now in games is in the video card, not the CPU). So why tax the Video Card more when the CPU isn't even breaking a sweat in most cases?
