How to set a GPU for dedicated Physx???

farid · Sep 24, 2009, 06:47 PM

Heya all! Ive got a ZOTAC 9800GT that my uncle bought for his build. so I would like to experiment with my RIG leaving my EVGA GTX 260 as a main GPU and use that 9800GT for dedicated Physx. You can take a look at my rig specs, but anyway, im running a EVGA 750i FTW and EVGA GTX 260 (216), also im using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bits.

Is that possible? Is there any guide that I can read to do that? Will my PSU support the additional card (My PSU is a Corsair TX750W)?

Thanks for the help guys!

Your PSU is more than enough. I believe you just need to go to the Nvidia control panel and select the 9800GT for dedicated PhysX.

Just like that? Do I need to install separate drivers or something like that?
