These threads tend to take on a life of their own, especially when posters don't read/re-read the previous posts.įirst point: The 9600GT is as good a PhysX card as the Tom's review (linked to) implies- whether PhysX interests you or not is another matter entirely.

I wouldn't bother reiterating the point andy.įor some of us your upgrade from 9600GT to GTX275 was readily apparent from your first post. Sorry about the mega-detailed answer but rather than just answer "yes" I thought it best to explain the process behind it. Factoring in your CPU, harddrives, powered peripherals, board, fans etc.
TechPowerUp's convenient chart lists max draw at 78w, which as a dedicated PPU it would not approach.
TechPowerUp list 220w maximum in testing), the 9600GT has 1 x 6 pin PCIe mainly because it sits on the threshhold of the PCI-E slots power delivery.

The GTX 275 requires 2 x 6 pin PCIe power (theoretical max power 75w through the slot plus 75w via each PCIe 6 pin = 225w. This would offload any gaming PhysX/Physics calculations to the 9600GT and allow the GTX 275 to render the core aspects of the game unencumbered by having to calculate the PhysX effects- *remember to enable the 9600GT in the nVidia control panel under the PhysX tab.Īssuming that your CPU and GTX275 aren't running massive overclocks and you have a fairly normal range of added componenty the TX650 should be adequate for the job. as your graphics card) and use the 9600GT as a dedicated PPU (PhysX/Physics Processing unit).
You can use both cards- just not in an SLI configuration.Īn obvious example would be using your GTX 275 as the primary graphics renderer (i.e.
