Today, we're testing the impact of using a dedicated secondary RTX 5060 GPU to boost the performance of an RTX 5090 in a few classic Batman Arkham titles that support 32-bit PhysX, and with impressive results.

Back in 2001, Swiss company NovodeX AG developed a physics simulation engine called NovodeX. Just 3 years later, NovodeX AG was acquired by Ageia, a fabless semiconductor company, which began development on hardware-accelerated physics technology. Ageia called this technology PhysX.

PhysX is a multi-threaded real-time physics engine SDK that supports numerous physics effects and runs on CUDA-enabled graphics cards.…
