I seriously doubt it. That is my expert opinion -__-

If you really need a performance boost for Sins with that excellent system (which I doubt), buy a better heatsink and overclock it higher. With any luck a decent week e6600 can get over 3.6

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

You've got to be kidding me..

Seriously? This game has like zero physics calculations - only collision stuff.

People need to learn what their hardware does before they buy it.

No.

Most games already use their own proprietary physics routines including many of the games that were pushing PhysX. The whole physics processing unit was just another money grab using an overpriced piece of hardware that doesn't deliver much. It was quickly rendered useless by multi-core CPU's.
