I haven't kept up to date for the last year or so :P Seems sorta pointless to me though.... Anyway i suspect as it's driver enabled you'll have to preset it for that SLI mode also remember that your display should be plugged into the card in your first PCI-E slot

Due to the fact that the 9800GX2 is a type of single card SLI, it may not be a candidate for this type of setup. Because you technically have 3 cards in your system, I don't think it applies.

if i do that its just lagg, the FPS is then around 23

The strange thing is that when i driveUT3 on my 8600GT on higest settings i get around25FPS with means that withone core one my 9800GX2 i should get at least about 40FPSand onecore shouldbe able tohandel the physics, but its not. When i play on the light house level(special made for physx) i just get around 25FPS and its lag like hell :(

The 9800GX2 is 2 cards sandwiched together on one PCI-E connector. There is no way to separate them.

You can drive both Graphics and Physics on the same card

Yes i could but then the FPS is to low for the game to be playable Can 9800GT run Unreal Tournament 3 on highest settings with 1920x1020?

No, I don't think the 9800GT can pull that off. I am upgrading from dual 8800GT's to dual GTX 260's (216 Core) today. I will enable Physx and see what the result is in the Lighthouse level in UT3 and report back.

I played the lighthouse and i was getting like 8 FPS, i suspect that the GPU accelerating wasnt turned on because thats what you usually get when you rending Physx with the GPU. Anyway, is there anything you have to do in the game to get GPU accelerating Physx? Got a polish version of the game so i dont understand a sh*t =p

if i do that its just lagg, the FPS is then around 23

The strange thing is that when i driveUT3 on my 8600GT on higest settings i get around25FPS with means that withone core one my 9800GX2 i should get at least about 40FPSand onecore shouldbe able tohandel the physics, but its not. When i play on the light house level(special made for physx) i just get around 25FPS and its lag like hell :(

You should be getting way more then 40fps with a 9800GX2. Even a 9800GTX gets 90+ fps easily.

So then i can run UT3 on highest settings and resulotions with only one of the cores on the 9800GX2?

It should do. I ran 1600x1200 maxed settings with 8800GT.

Now im about to download the game in english so maybe then i can fix this out because it seems like i should be able to run it with higest settings and Physx, i mean a card like a 9800GT should be able to run the Physics
