Thats like someone bringing a car with 300 hp and i bring mine with nitrous and 500 hp y should i turn my nitrous off when thats what i have? I have seen this tho were people comapre with phy off only never understood it tho.


Well it's not excepted by futuremark for the reason that it goes against what Futuremark intended for the benchmark. Why do you think your CPU score is so high in vantage? It's because the CPU didn't do the work. That alters the integrety of the benchmark. The CPU test portion of the bench was/is intended to test how well the CPU can handle physics operations. I hear ya on your arguement, and it's been repeated by many thousands of times, but it is what it is.

To answer your first part, no ATI does not use physx. Maybe it does make nvidia better as far as gaming in games that utilize the physx engine. The problem is that not many games utilize physx. Just because you have it enabled in the cp, that doesn't mean you are actually using the function in most of your games.
