ATI+NVIDIA Physx??? yes

Fitseries3 · Sep 23, 2008, 04:47 AM

I hyped this for a few days and now im going public.

IT DOES WORK!

yes i know xp works fine but who wants that? where's the DX10 physx we want with our ATI cards?

right here....

Fitseries3 · Sep 23, 2008, 04:49 AM

heres how you do it.

first off... the only available version SO FAR to do this on is build 6519 found on isohunt

then you need to roll your bios date back to 12/1/07 and install

there is a link to a site on the dvd that has the activator. DL, install, reboot, done.

now...

DL vista 32bit drivers and make sure you run them in compatability mode for vista RTM.

then when its all up and going do this...

4. make sure both vid cards have a desktop enabled, ONLY ONE.

5. select the nvidia card as your default/main desktop/monitor and hit APPLY(not ok, leave the window open)

6. open physx control panel and go to the physx card tab. it should now say physx is enabled. leave this open.

7. switch the default/main display back to the ati card(s) and hit apply.

8. in the physx control panel, click on ENABLE a few times so that APPLY becomes available once again. click apply and repeat this step again.

9. run your benchmark of physx enable games.

10. enjoy.

NOTE: the monitor on the physx card does not need to be left on at this point.

We all know what fit's like, he won't tell anyone until he's ready (assuming he didn't fall asleep at the PC or find something to fix :P).

Damn I can't wait for this though. I kept toying with the idea but as soon as I heard that it wasn't useable in Vista I pushed the idea to one side, now I'm stoked!

Well you'll be dissapointed. Look at the screens, it still says no PhysX acceleration .

blobster21 · Sep 23, 2008, 05:53 AM

windows 7 is not doing it properly right now,later maybe...

Fitseries3 · Sep 23, 2008, 12:45 PM

point proven. it does work. it's not that hard either.

Fitseries3 · Sep 23, 2008, 12:57 PM

and yes......

Windows 7 is the answer.

there is nothing special about this at all(the setup/install)(7 is very nice and fast as hell).

more testing to come... comments please.

there is ONE HUGE ASS PROBLEM that i was having last night that delayed my testing.

this will not work with any ATI X2 cards.

the X2 cards have 2 bios's and the motherboard will always load the single card first(nvidia card). this means that the primary card will be the nvidia card and you will not be able to enable physx once you switch the display to the Ati x2 card(s). im not 100% sure on this but after battling this problem for 5 hours with no solution i popped in my 4850 and it worked within 5 minutes.

more testing to come... comments please.

Awesome! but I still cant use it!

Sep 23, 2008, 01:05 PM

nice. I'm more interested to see how Windows 7 is with compatibility and drivers

Fitseries3 · Sep 23, 2008, 01:08 PM

i took every single vista driver i threw at it.... it's actually alot better than vista... even in the alpha stages. expect beta 1 to be out in october.

anyone can go get it right now. go to www.isohunt.com and put this in the search box with the quote marks "windows 7" . there is one that has some green comment marks, thats the one i got.

jbunch07 · Sep 23, 2008, 01:09 PM

wait whats all this talk about windows 7, that's not out yet is it?

Fitseries3 · Sep 23, 2008, 01:11 PM

there is an early build of 7 out that you can try. the beta 1 should be released in october.

oooo, so Are they not going to release SP for vista that will allow physics or do we have to upgrade to windows 7 for that support?

Fitseries3 · Sep 23, 2008, 01:17 PM

there is talk of one but at this time i have no info that proves that something is coming for vista. the problem that vista has with this is one that cant really be solved without a major change in the OS itself. i think MS is going to push 7 out the door early. alot of people are thinking 7 is just vista sp2 but it's far different. the whole kernal was rewritten from the ground up. 7 works far differently than vista although it looks similar. there are actually quite a few differences between the 2 os'es but i will not into them in this discussion.
