Thanks Nvidia

dunking on the 50 series seems to be hip right now, but that is a misleading topic title, lol.

Seems like you've learnt some tricks from Nvidia marketing.

Looks like I need to play some old games before I upgrade my 3080.

I'm not used to hearing some of the things said in this video. "…when we tried this with our 5080, the game (Arkham city) noted that our performance would would be reduced. It suggested installing a nice GTX 570 instead, with a nice GTX 460 as a dedicated physics card... Which it accurately says would be an upgrade from our 5080."

I mean Nvidia seems to be doing a great job of it themselves.

Now let's try it on any AMD card…

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Now let's try it on any AMD card…

no need.

 

[Pakoe]

Now let's try it on any AMD card…

What will happen? Please explain.

 

[dgrdsv]

...In five games from 2008.
And only when you enable one particular option in settings of these games.

This title implies the 980 outperforms it in ALL aspects

which is a blatant lie

and a stupid title.

Would have been much more informative and useful to the forum if you had the specifics instead of some youtube-level bait Not to mention there IS already a thread for this, guess someone needed attention and made a thread about it instead of just posting their video in said thread, cheap tricks.

ah yes another high quality video from this complete asshole

If you wanna call it a click bait title then I'm ok with this one, because the sentence is hilarious.

 

[Throttle]

Can this be fixed in some way? Even if not to the performance level of the 4000 series?

NVidia tried to bribe him once

 

[Corporal.Hicks]

Nvidia should never gimp their newer cards. It was a dumb move. That being said, some 32bit physx games dip below 60fps even on RTX 40 cards that offer acceleration for 32bit physx, so if people want to play 32bit physx games at over 120fps, buying a cheap GTX1050 to offload the GPU makes sense regardless of whether you have RTX 40 or 50 series.

I think the hardware doesn't have the 32bit compatibility for PhysX. They would need to write some sort of emulation layer and I don't think Nvidia is going to bother.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Dang, I miss my 980Ti.

 

[violence]

The video makes a good point about all the exclusive features nvidia has pushed over the years and now it's a question mark whether they'll keep being supported.

Did I hear correctly you can't pair a 50's series card with an older geforce card to get hardware physx support? The gist is that the newest geforce drivers, which are necessary for the 50 series cards, doesn't support 32-bit physx and you can't install both current and older geforce drivers at the same time. (Which would be needed since the older card would need to run older drivers in order to support Phys-X 32bit.)
