As long as GPU supports it - there's no reason to run it on CPU. Yours does.

I mean some games are cpu based so idk.

It's actually pretty impossible to see a CPU-based games these days, as some types of calculations can be done way faster on a GPU. PhysX is one of those types of calculations, and being also an NVidia product like your graphics card - it makes sense those two would together flawlessly. There might be some cases when you might prefer to put PhysX on CPU for a particular game to get a few extra frames, but those cases are somewhere near "4K CPU idling", and if PhysX usage in those games is heavy - you might get tremendous framedrops every time something goes boom.

Ok thanks!

There is absolutely no good reason to set it for CPU when you have a CUDA capable GPU. You can generally just leave it on "auto-select" when you only have 1 GPU. the software is smart enough to use it when it's present.

Yeah, no.

In such case as that then it will be forced through cpu anyways, so yeah set it to gpu for using PhysX via gpu on games that actually support that.

use gpu unless your integrated gpu if dedicated gpu then use gpu from pci16 slot

Games require APEX PhysX to use GPU otherwise PhysX is exclusively CPU.

Just keep it at auto, theres no reason to manually set it.
Some games use CPU based physics while others use GPU based such as PhysX.
Just keep it at auto
