How does running an Nvidia card as a physx card work?

[niko084]

Not sure how to set that up or what it requires etc...

But I just picked up an 8800gs so.

From what I've read on other forums, first you need a version of Windows that supports multiple display drivers. I think XP and 2000 do this, along with windows 7, but for some reason vista doesn't.

I'm actually interested in this too, so I'm gonna spend some time on the goggle and let you know if I find step by step instructions. You should do the same and post what you find lol

If there are two nvidia cards on the system, then selecting which one to run physx should be pretty easy right? What about if the first card is ATI? Will that be included in your how to?

Go here: http://www.nvidia.com/content/forcewithin/us/download.asp

Download the latest drivers only (you don't need the game demos and other stuff), install them, and you're good to go for PhysX on your GeForce card.

Check out this article for a rough idea of the difference GeForce PhysX makes: http://www.thenextbench.com/hpg/blog/article?message.uid=10771

yup... all that will be included in my thread.

if you have 2 nvda cards its pretty straightforward.
