More Effects For Non-Physx Users

Can more particle effects be added for those of us that choose the red team? (AMD) or even the option for cpu physx. Ive seen videos with physx and its a completely different game, it just seems like its missing something without it rather than adding something with it.

PhysX effects in general are a power hog.

Even run under a middle-grade (around 560Ti) GPU they're a power hog.

Playability would drop even lower when ran on CPU.

 

Unless DE would be willing to spend development time on a proper CPU particle system (which is unlikely) you won't get any decent solution.

CPU PhysX plainly sucks.

PhysX on CPU would just kill your fps, as we've seen years ago in Mirrors Edge.

 

For more effects... to see less of the actual game and be blinded by their awesomeness? :P

Why not, but it guess its not something easy to do and resources will most probably go somewhere else, then doing amd-specific effects as an alternative of PhysX.

 

Also it would be awesome to add option for other end and add choice to completely disable effects, like electro/fire/freeze effects on enemies, etc...

Physx looks amazing.

 

It does not bog down your GPU (I had a 440GT and I didnt see any fps drops even though the game already ran on 25-30 fps).

 

Lastly its optional and A LOT of AMD users want to have it, the particles do not completely fill your screen, they look awesome and theyre temporary.

 

PS4 runs AMD cards and IIRC they will have physx for warframe, so we MIGHT expect it to come on the PC version.
