Question about ATI video card

I have a ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB graphics card, but I found a NVIDIA folder in my C: Drive labeled, NVIDIA PhysX Properties.

Is this bad? Maybe it has something to do with games I installed from Steam?

My computer is ordered new, never had a NVIDIA card in it.

Don't think it hurts you...Just keep it

Thing is, the "animation" in my games is very choppy instead of the fluid and smooth animation I had when I first started playing games on it. I think that it may be conflicting with my ATI card's own PhysX or something or other.

I only have one CD from Dell labeled Drivers, this must contain it along with all the other drivers I have.

What, if any, programs/games have you installed? I know Unreal Tournament 3 lays down some PhysX files regardless of the presence of appropriate hardware.

The following where installed after the Orange Box (where I have noticed some weird stuff)

ATI Catalyst Install Manager, after downloading ATI stuff from Dell.com

NVIDIA PhysX

OpenAL

Nvidia PhysX is a physics engine that's designed to run on natively on an x86 CPU or on detected and supported Nvidia GPUs or Ageia PPUs. If you have a game that uses PhysX you need the PhysX software installed regardless if you have an Nvidia GPU or Ageia PPU or not. This should not conflict with your ATI hardware. I would recommend you download and install the latest Catalyst 9.8 drivers. Marfoo

However, the last game I installed was the Batman AA demo on August 8, the NVIDIA PhysX made its way on there days later, so I don't understand why it would wait to install days after I install a demo.
