Re: Haswell iGPU will equal GT 650M performance These CPUs fall flat on their face when running games with PhysX enabled.
I tried setting my 3570k to handle all the PhysX in Borderlands 2, and I got terrible performace and frame rates. |

kudos:1 | If PhysX is enabled, I don't think PhysX games do very well without dedicated hardware. I was unaware the Intel iGPU was supported in this capacity. |

You might be right. It's probably the CPU portion that handles it.
Either way, games with PhysX absolutely need a dedicated GPU.
I couldn't imagine how bad it would have run if I was using the onboard HD4000 graphics. |

| Yep, PhysX falls back to the CPU if no supported GPU is present. It's in nVidia's best interests to have it run best on their hardware, so I doubt things will get better in the future with CPU-driven PhysX.
