AMD today announced that it is partnering with Firaxis and 2K Games on the development of "Civilization VI," the next addition to the smash-hit turn-based strategy franchise. AMD announced that it is helping the developer take advantage of DirectX 12, including API-standardized Asynchronous Compute, and Explicit multi-adapter (MDA). This will let the game use setups that are a mixture of discrete and integrated GPUs, and mixed multi-GPU. The game is also said to feature a benchmark tool.

TheGuruStudPhysx on GPU isn't needed. Nvidia gimped the CPU ver to make it look attractive. It's all a scam and now no one uses physx b/c nvidia finished it off being asshats.
I thought this was already covered here a week ago....i need to find the thread. There are actually a large number of games using Phys-X.

Edit: Found it all the way back on June 30th I believe: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_hardware-accelerated_PhysX_support

Only 2 games have used PhysX in 2016. 4 in 2015. I don't think frequency like this should be called large. Frequency of games using async compute is higher and I don't like calling it large, yet.

Yeah, PhysX is pretty much dead. I was thinking about replacing my GT430 with a 600 or 700 series but seeing that there are almost no new games coming I didn't bother with Physx anymore.

I didn't really say anything about frequency. I merely cited the number in totale.

I'm afraid to touch civ6 after BE. I honestly had more fun playing starship and it was lacking greatly...
