Sometimes, update our PC to the top can make the shot out of the cylinder head. The logical thing is to think that with more power we will be able to enjoy our games more and better, and in general it is so; but not when certain titles use APIS or Graphic technologies They have remained ” Abandoned ” by superior graphics models.
That was what happened to LOOKING ‘PEOPLE’ that he commented on the social network Reddit, with this story from which I sit as PC Gamer or Wccftech echoed. It turns out that the user had just spent 2.500 euros in one RTX 5090the most top graph of Nvidia. But for disappointment, the performance in many of the “ ancient ” games that he had installed was much worse in the subject of FPS. The reason? The non -compatibility of this GPUS series with the engine PHYSX.
Need for a second GPU
As the author’s author points out, in it he exposes the performance differences of his games since his new graphics card was bought with another that he chose to work in parallel. The example more flagrant is that of Mirror’s Edge, a game of almost 15 years and that with RTX 5090, when it executed certain particles or physical effects, performance I went down to abysmals 12 fps.
When he incorporated him An RTX 3050 graphicsand after doing the same tests, the images per second shot Up to 171 fps. Something that, although normal considering the old game, surprises such a difference in performance. Which shows that the Physx engine today is still necessary in many cards, at least the one that requires the 32 -bit version.
Nvidia’s abandonment to this technology
The surprising thing about this situation is the fact that it is NVIDIA itself that has decided to abandon the compatibility of 32 -bit versions for the Physx system in favor of one of 64; It is not that the engine has been discarded at all, only that The new GPUs do not support lower versions to the new ones. The problem comes when you want to run games that require the 32 -bit version, such as the aforementioned Mirror’s Edge, or the Batman Arkham Asylum or Arkham City in addition to others; in the Web Resetera There is a more specific list of titles that, if we try to run only with a 50 series, will show problems.
In cases so, unless it is counted With a powerful CPU To “ replace ” the absence of Physx -and still falls short or will not exceed 60 fps In the best cases. It is not surprising that many users are choosing to rule out the purchase of a 50 series if they cannot take advantage of their preferred ” ” ” ” games.
While ‘Jerubdo’ found a solution by incorporating an RTX 3050, it is possible to achieve the same results -although less effectively – even with GT1050 series graphics. These were entirely dedicated to executing that technology, and the energy requirements and the price are lower. Even so, it is a rough solution to a problem that should not exist only for the abandonment of the GPUS manufacturer of one of the versions of its own graphic engine.
