does the PhysX card really matter? and does the video card support DX 10?What will this be able to handle?
Okay just two things. If you really want to play at max and high resolutions look into the 8800GTX. Otherwise the 8800GTS should max out those game but not at extremely high resolutions. Dont need a physix accelerator card and the card does support DX10.What will this be able to handle?
I agree. Dump the PhysX card and plow the cash into a better graphics option. You can always get the PhysX card sometime in the future, if you feel the need. ;)

does the physix card improve anything? or is it just by a tiny bit and isnt really worth it

he's planning on changing the card to a Dx10 one when the new games come out in Q4 though
All the 8XXX cards are compatible with DX10 already. The PhysX card just helps the CPU out with game physics...but only in the games that support PhysX. If you already had a top-notch gaming rig and wanted to enhance it a bit, PhysX might be an option to look at. I've considered it, if/when I ever get around to building a new system... :roll:
I am surprised no one has said this but you do know that building a computer is way better then buying a prebuild right? building it your self is at the minimum way cheaper (if you spent $2000 at Alienware you could some thing way better on newegg as an example).
