    Hi Guys,
    Wondering which one to buy (Ati HD5750 vs Nvidia GTS250), they are virtually same price.
    Both very similar cards:
    The key advantage of the Nvidia apparently are physX support, and an interphase of 256 bits.
    The advantages of the ATI would be a GDDR5 and most importantly, DirectX11 support (SM 5.0).

    I wonder which one is better. I guess the ATI is sort of future proof, but does DX11 matter really, or it will be just as the pass from DX9 to DX10, virtually imperceptible? Cause I heard DX11 would bring performance improvement, together with visual improvement. Is it really noticeable?
    On the other hand, is PhysX a feature that stands on?

    Thanks for the help.
