It is a mute issue. While NVIDIA does have their "PhysX", very few games use this. And even when running a PhysX supporting game on AMD Radeon, you will still have it to a certain extent, but it will be rendered by your CPU instead of your GPU. Overall, PhysX on/off doesn't really matter or take anything special away from the actual game, or gameplay.

Basically the same differences when choosing a CPU. Intel has "Hyper-Threading" and "XMP". AMD has those two, but they are called by different names; however they work very much the same.

It is really a matter of taste and what fits your budget. Especially for general use and gaming.

Now if u were to need something a little more specific, like for 3D Rendering or CAD; then that might be a different story.

Another problem I've heard more about PhysX is that it's kinda badly optimized right now. It cuts the fps gameplay pretty significantly for me whenever enabled, and what I heard it does happens to some games running on a GTX 780 too.

Back when it was ATI Radeon, I used to have many driver issues with their, but I bet their drivers were much more improved now. On the pro side, I like how radeon cards has a much better price-performance ratio.

And yeah, It's just really depends on the use and budget. Both are really good GPU companies.

Like any feature, it can depend on the game engine itself and how the PhysX was implemented.

I never had a real issue with PhysX dropping my FPS. Now on some older games (like Mafia2) PhysX was an issue because it was using a much older PhysX DLL and even when u updated the PhysX software on your system, the game would still use the DLLs that are included in the game folder, but for situations like that, there is an easy work-around. But for me, even back when I played games like Mafia2 or Alice Madness Returns, I never had FPS drops (not noticeable) even when I used a single GTX 570.

But overall I don't see anything wrong with it. If it drops your FPS too much, u can change the level of PhysX in most games (Low, Med, High for example, or even Disable it, which games like Metro 2033 and Last Light have) and the result will be a change in the amount of overall effect and/or particle counts that is used, based on the setting.

NVIDIA has traditionaly had more mature drivers than AMD. While AMD drivers' quality has improved significantly over past couple of years they still tend to be a little buggier and than those shipped with nvidia cards.

Price/Performance wise, AMD tends to offer better value on the lower end parts, mid range cards tends to be stacked up in favor NVIDIA. With high end parts, price is typically not a deciding factor and performance the two offer comparable products.

Both make good cards.

Purely from the technical specifications I like AMD cards slightly better.

Purely from the price I like AMD cards lots better. Both brands are guilty of crazy overpricing of their top products. Nvidia is nearly 2 times as bad as AMD at least right now with thier "Titan" card coming out at over $1000 and meanwhile AMD's top card which has mostly better specs coming out at $500-$600.

AMD's top $500-$600 card (R9 290X 4GB) is only about 3 times as good as one of their $100-$130 (HD 7790 1 or 2 GB) cards though which is why I lable it as crazy overpriced since obviously 3 cards are much harder to make than 1 so you should in fact get a good discounted price below $350 for the 1 card being much easier to make than the 3.

In terms of $/GFLOPS of performance I think the top cards should be the very cheapest and right now it is far from it with mid level cards beating out all the top products in $/GFLOPS.

Disclaimer: I am no expert - the following are based on impressions I've garnered from what I've read. I may well be wrong on a number of points

From what I've read Nvidia cards are pricier but higher quality (e.g. run cooler, better performance and drivers (but I think this is improving)) while AMD are the value option. AMD does tend to be more generous with ammount of VRAM though. I think Nvidia's SLI is better AMD's Crossfire. As for multiple displays - I don't know much about that, AMD certainly used to be better with its Eyefinity but I think Nvidia has caught up though less VRAM isn't so good for NVIDIA.

As for the "extras" PhysX is nice but not essential. AMD's Mantle seems like a good idea but may well not be so promising as it could be more work for devs (I think I read that BF4 is in part a victim of that). Nvidia's G-sync on the other hand look very promising and not just a gimmick as it is hardware based (requiring a monitor pre- or customer fitted with the G-sync module) and doesn't require anything done with the game.

Another area to consider is Linux compatability, especially with the arrival of SteamOS. So far Nvidia has been better with Linux but AMD is catching up.

One area that most users can ignore is GPU computational programs - though of course there are those for whom it'll be more important. On the raw computational side AMD is better than Nvidia (though the Titan is better on that front) so if you mine Bitcoins AMD may be the way to go though I have no experience in that area. An area I do have a little bit of experience in is computational science simulation (especially chemisty) - I think these programs generally work better with Nvidia. However things may have changed there and I don't know that much about that.

Personally I tend to prefer Nvidia though I am certainly not a fanboy.

I personally love the added effect PhysX brings to the table. I adds atmosphere and realism to a game. You be the judge.
