Read the first post again. I never used it in Nvidia mode.
Actually, they claim 9.09.0408 is simply a runtime upgrade for Ageia cards, the cards are not fully supported by it.

They aren't doing this, you are just trying to make up a something to make them look bad. Your Ageia card isn't support anymore, which is why the CPU is doing the work. A real secondary GPU would not offload the work to the CPU, this is a problem with the Ageia cards that does not affect the GPUs, and is again caused by the drop of support for Ageia hardware.
