Alriin Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Hi Friends! I allways bench my Videocards in AM3, 3DMark01, 03, 05 & 06 (PCMark anyway) with disabled PhysX. But with new Videocards i have a very low CPU-Score in Aquamark when i disable PhysX. Is it allowed to enable it for Aquamark3? I allways follow the Rules... so i dont like to break them undeliberate. But a CPU-Score worth 10000 Points with a Phenom II X4 955 is crazy! :-) greets Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alriin Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 I know. Only Vantage use ist... but i have a Run with 50k Points more in AM3. really!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alriin Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Ok, its not reproducible. I dont know whats wrong! hmmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikkoo Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 heya.....Curious why Physx not allowed in 3dmarkvantage only have a notebook will they ever allow Physx enabled on vantage as a seperate benchy while still having physx not allowed vantage benchy Thanks.....

hikkoo Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 thats cool.. just me notebook no match for desktop should get a handicap(joke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stabias Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 is ageia physics allowed for the 3dm vantage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikkoo Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 noticed above hwbot removed their posts about not using Nvidia drivers with physx? so does this mean now we can submit scores with Physx? Also Hwbot Rules 3DMark Vantage - Performance info page is blank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 physx is not allowed on hwbot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikkoo Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) thanks, Does anyone know for sure if Nvidia 180.43 Beta driver has physx ? release date 2008.10.24( Nvidia Release Notes (v180.43) download link broken) & is nvlddmkm 7.15.11.8043 driver same as Nvidia180.43 Beta.

Massman Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 IIRC, all latest Nvidia drivers have PhysX. You can disable PhysX in the Nvidia control center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokester_wild Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 This is a bit of an honor systems though, I dont see a way you could tell if someone did use it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) One of the CPU tests is way better than normal, pretty easy to spot. Edited February 11, 2010 by knopflerbruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Turrican Posted February 11, 2010 Crew Share Posted February 11, 2010 One of the CPU tests are way better than normal, pretty easy to spot. yeah, the 2nd cpu test is way too high if physx is used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokester_wild Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 ahhhh good to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRo Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) So I understand that PhysX is not allowed on hwbot - understood. For my own education - please - how is it that PhysX is not allowed but hyperthreading is allowed? - isn't both "features" of the respective h/w? Edited December 9, 2010 by SteveRo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 PhysX is software for using Nvidia VGA to calculate physics real-time. Hyperthreading is hardware to use the gap in two instructions of one thread to insert an instruction of another thread to improve multi-threading performance. You need drivers to use an Nvidia VGA for rendering physics (software=PhysX) whereas you don't need drivers to use hyperthreading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmke Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 better explanation is that PhysX impacts CPU score, where as HT doesn't impact GPU score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobnova Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 HT is worth ~30% if it's well utilized (wprime, for example), but it's a hardware feature rather then a software feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 No, we don't; physX is not allowed as per rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
