Think you can post some screenshots of the benches with and without the 8800? I am a little skeptical ...

Hi All
Just a thought.. Is it possible to change the nvidia driver by some way and make it install like lets say "system devices" or "Sound, Video and Game Controllers" or something else and make it usable under Vista for Physx only?

I had the same issue

I did.

No. nVidia needs to do it tho. All they have to do is make a Physx driver that treats it as a coprocessor instead of a gpu, and all of our issues would be solved.

Fitseries3 · May 9, 2009

some versions do work and some dont. its a total crapshoot.

in the RTM release it WILL be possible to do this flawlessly though.

MS's word is on that.

orionbg · May 9, 2009

Look what i have done!

I'm a bad boy!

Just have to find a way to enable Physx! Ideas?

t_ski · May 9, 2009

Do you have a monitor on the nv card?

orionbg · May 9, 2009

I tried to connect the second input of my monitor to it but it won't show picture nor will appear in display properties!

JrRacinFan · May 9, 2009

Don't you have to "extend desktop to 2nd display" in ATi CP? Hmmm...

Try that out and see what happens.

orionbg · May 9, 2009

When I try to enable the second display, there is just a quick screen flash and then it is disabled again!

t_ski · May 17, 2009

orionbg, post what you have done to get this working in Vista x64. I have a similar setup I want to try this with, and maybe we can figure this out together.

Good luck

Thats as far as I got with my 8600GTS and 4870x2 in Win 7. I could actually tell it to turn on the Physx and hit accept, then if I opened that back up it said it was off. :/

t_ski · May 17, 2009

The way fit was talking before, you had to do that several times in order to get it to go.

Sorry to bring a dying thread back to life but this whole ATI + Nvidia is bugging me. Here is how I've been trying to setting up the combo with my single monitor

I have two 4830's in crossfire and a 8600GT. I have the DVI connection plugged into the top 4830(that's how it has been since I've had crossfire) and I have the VGA connection plugged into the nvidia card.

After installing gforce driver 181.71 I restart then install Physx 9.09.048, and restart again

I go into screen resolution and switch over to the Nvidia card and select Enable under Physx in the Nvidia Control Panel and leave open, I then switch over to Display 2 (ATI), unplug the cable to the nvidia card since this is the only way I can apply the screen change, and open up the Physx control panel. Everytime it says No acceleration and both Physx options are grayed out.

I have even tried the newest Gforce drivers for Win 7 64-bit but Physx isn't even an option in the Nvidia control panel.

Anyone have any ideas on this one?

Scrizz · Jun 22, 2009

this only works on a certain pre-beta build(6519).
and should be available on the rtm.
but it does not work on beta/rc builds

kenkickr · Jun 22, 2009

I guess then I'll be getting rid of this 8600GT.

ShRoOmAlIsTiC · Jul 30, 2009

bump, anyone try this with the win 7 rtm yet?

adrianx · Aug 17, 2009

it's possible not to work with win7 until the havoc engine will be accelerated by amd/intel

but the physx must can be used with out the nvidia video card part

anyone try two nvidia and one ati card on win7?

Fitseries3 · Aug 18, 2009

thats the whole point of this thread. what did you not understand while reading it?

ShRoOmAlIsTiC · Aug 22, 2009

Ive got it working right now with my 4850x2 and a 8800gts 320mb. Im using the 181.71 drivers windows 7 64bit drivers for nvidia and the 9.8 cats for ati.

I use my computer on my regular tv too so I got the s-video coming out of the 8800gts going to the tv set as my extended monitor. The newest physx drivers are installed too. 9.09.0814. Im gonna try the 185 nvidia drivers next, they are whql drivers. hopefully it will still work. anything past 186 wont work from what I read.

In fluidmark, my min fps with my ageia pcie x1 card was 13fps. now its 66fps with the 8800gts. Didnt think it was gonna be that big of a difference but this card isnt coming out of my rig now.

Is that with Win 7 RTM? If so that is what if been trying to find out so I don't waste money on an nvidia card I'll never use. I just want Physx so I can play Batman with all it's sexy

EastCoasthandle · Aug 22, 2009

According to this post, they've disabled physx if the software detects a Radeon Card.

According to the post that is happening in the 186-current drivers but he states he is using 181.71. I'm debating going to Best Buy and "borrowing" a 9600 or better to confirm Shroom's findings.

In the end, you don't want to be stuck with old drivers that may not be optimized for current games.
