On the gear box main forum they said - "We are not Blizzard" - thank god, but it doesn't look like they care.

They aren't going to patch it. There is no need. There is no reason to stop people from ruining their game play. It is a moddable game so really it's up to the user to have the willpower not to do that.

I just had a buddy try it and it worked, as of 5 minutes from this post time.

Running it maxed out at 1360x768 until the other card shows up and I can try NV surround. 9800GT is plenty of umph to run physx maxed out.

See, and no matter which method I use to force hardware PhysX, it defaults to CPU. The highest I've seen my GTS250's load is 1%...
I must be doing something wrong, hybrid PhysX seems to be working for Kurgan

I had the side monitors running while I was gaming and the max during a firefight was around 40-50%. It is making me want to crank the card up a little more.

Do you have a "FAKE" monitor hooked to the physx card in windows? if not thats why its not being used.

I had the same issue until I went into display settings and attached a fake VGA monitor to the GTS240 and it shot up to 80+% in game

I have a real monitor hooked up to it, i keep all of my monitoring programs on that monitor and game on the big(ger) one.

EDIT: should probably mention this seems to be a BL2 problem, as both Batman: Arkham games are utilizing the GTS250 and GPU-Z shows PhysX enabled...

Surely driver support for this will improve over the next few weeks.

Physx support should come along too.

Does anyone have a Borderlands 2 key available from either a graphics card purchase or a 4 pack that they are willing to sell for a reasonable price?

so I have an 9600GSO(96sp) sitting around but it has no heatsink, do you think it would be worth it to get a heatsink for it and use the card for physx if I have a GTX460 guys.

Yeah thats one someone else said as well. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the 9800 or my 7970's, overall frames seem low on the game.

Theres 2 methods, the old one didn't work for me. I could use the old method with the 1.05ff patch, but then I would have to use the Hybridize patch as well. So I didn't see the point in doing that, so I just went with the most current drivers and used Hybridize and it works fine.

I never had to do that to get mine to work. Just installed drivers, hybridized it, and went.

Tested with Physx on low, averaged about 95 fps. So it has to be a issue with the 9800gt, I wonder why my dogs down so much. Even on medium settings it can get pretty bad.

**EDIT**
Like I said before it's only when blood flies. And I'm seeing others saying the samething. Cloth effects are fine, but lots of blood effects just destroys.
