It would be kinda cool if there was something like an physics accelerator. This would be useful for ppl with lower-End systems. With an Thunderbolt and an PCI-Version That would be something i would totally pay 200 bucks for.
Its called "buying a new CPU with more cores"... Seriously tho, you can't just make a secondary CPU that you slot into your PCI-e slots or even thunderbolt and expect games like Beam to just "work" with that
Physics accelerators used to exist in the form of PhysX PPU cards, but PhysX is now an API that runs on modern Nvidia GPUs. BeamNG doesn't use PhysX AFAIK. While a super beefy PPU card or a motherboard with a socket for a little PPU chip are fun things to think about, (the idea of a tiny 40mm heatsink or a tiny water block for a socketed PPU chip makes me especially giddy), these things will likely never be supported by Beam- let alone even manufactured at all. If we're going to dream about the return of dedicated physics acceleration hardware, let's be a little realistic at least. Firewire? In 2020? Are you crazy?
That technically exists, but they are designed for very specific tasks like neural networks. Windows cant handle them, no consumer board can handle them either.
i mean you overclock your crappy pc but that can result into your pc just killing itself, and thats not really useful unless you dont wanna play any games at all.
if it allows for OC and your cooling is good enough you can overclock anything, modern CPU will throttle themselves LONG before they reach damage temperatures. You REALLY have to try to do damage to actually do serious damage to a CPU.
Im just more worried about thermal throtteling. I may have the non-boxed version, but the Be quiet cooler that i have isnt too strong
Thermal throttling nowadays is secure enough that no SERIOUS damage is done unless you are aware of it and let it be, if you realize you overclock and have thermal throttling then you should tone down the overclock when you can.
