Dragon Age Origins/Nvidia PhysX question ...

i've got an envy 17 that uses amd graphics hardware.

i installed dragon age and noticed now i have nvidia physX installed ...

wondering if the game installer put it there .... (likely) and how this would work with my hardware ...

is the game performance impacted if i uninstalled it ?

 

physicx use the hardware less then 1% of the time 99% of the time it run on the cpu simply because the game is not built to make use of the hardware

the game use it as a physic engine it's part of the game if you uninstalll it the game will start whining or simply won't run you can how ever stop it's services so it don,t eat ram when you don't neeed it

 

What granyte said. If you uninstall physx from your system, you can't start the game, it's required to run the game.

 

It's too bad the hacked version of PhysX for ATi cards didn't stay updated.

 

where did you find it in the first place i didn't find where to download it

 

thanks for the responses. i'll leave it installed then ...
i assume any updates to it would come via dragon age software updates

 

That was a really long time ago, some guy in the rage forums hacked physx to run on ati cards. I think with catalyst 8.4. Nvidia disabled the way he did it in future releases and that was the end of it.

 

kk cause i read about the project but didn't founs any download link

nvidia scraping thing again .....
