Option to run Physx on GPU
New, WishlistPublic

Description

People who have weak processor like me, would be happy to know that you can turn the physx the GPU instead of running on the CPU. Is there any chance to put an option on the ARMA 3 options or launcher to do this?

An implementation in ARMA3 is not necessary if you are using a NVIDIA graphics card.

  1. Open your windows control panel
  2. Go to NVIDIA control panel
  3. Take a look under 3D-settings
  4. There you can define the Physx calculation by the GPU or CPU

Maybe these are the same steps for AMD graphics cards but I don't own any.

This not work. Always show Physx > CPU.

Just adding "An implementation in ARMA3 is not necessary if you are using a NVIDIA graphics card [with a build-in PhysX Co-Processor]." The main feature of PhysX is the load outsource to dedicated processor on the graphics card (not the GPU!!!). Requirement for this is this special co-processor. PhysX is a Nvidia patent so AMD has no option at all.
