Possible to have a ATI as the main card and Nvidia for physX?

Well i remember a long time ago i installed like 3 Graphics cards in my pc 2 of witch were Nvidia and 1 was ATI There was A TUN of conflicts but eventually it started working without problems.

so i am thinking now i have an ATI HD 4870. if i were to ADD a 9800GT for PhysX (with Drivers) do you think it would allow me to enable PhysX in game?

Yes, that would work just fine, but it would be overkill. Just get a 9400GT and use that as a PhysX slave, because it has plenty of power to handle the load. Also, if you have any newer ATi cards around, there are PhysX drivers out there for them, too. And, believe it or not, Nvidia helped to create them. :okodex1717

Yes, I'm sure. I'm running such a setup as I type here.kodex1717

How did you get it working if you don't mind me asking? I might consider such a setup myself sometime in the future, since I have a 9800GT already that could be put to good PhysX use. Did you just install the ATI drivers and then pick up just the PhysX package?RayvinAzn

The 4870 is just fine for physics calculations, unless you already have the 9800gt forget it

So do you just install the nvidia physx only drivers and it works?

im not sure why anyone would want physx right now in the first place, there's only one good game that uses it. if better games start using it then upgrade to it then.machiavell8x8
