Just an update on the status since I got the card: I got Metro 2033: Last Light to go from 3 FPS (old card) to about 25 FPS (650 Ti Boost) on Very High settings and at 1920 x 1080 resolution. Also PhysX is turned on (the GPU takes care of it). I do see some CPU bound effects, that is, it is running ...
