Supercharging the RTX 5090 in PhysX games using an RTX 5060 as a secondary GPU — SLI may be dead, but how much can dual GPUs boost performance in classic PhysX titles?

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware) 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. Games like the Batman Arkham series, Mafia II , Mirror’s Edge , Metro 2033 , Metro: Last Light , and numerous others utilize PhysX effects for more realistic physics and greater immersion.
