anything better than a 8600gts is pretty much pointless for physx.

With Windows 7 do you just download the vista drivers for ati and nvidia and then just... install them both? Do most vista drivers (eg chipset) work on windows 7?

1) Will throwing a 8800 gts in with a 4870/4870x2 have an impact in game that do not use PhysX?

2) Using ATI+Nvidia combos have been said to increase chances of scoring with the opposite sex. Is this true?

3) If your answer to 1) is the end all for enhanced game performance then what is PhysX emulation and why is it so much sweeter than owning a physics card?

i tried to sandwich a PNY geforce 8400GS 256megs together with my 2 radeon HD4870 crossfired, and failed to activate the nv physX.

the 8400GS was plugged to the VGA input of my monitor, and the 4870 hooked to the dvr/dvi input.

While the card was correctly detected and installed with the latest det 178.13, there was no physx devices in the physX panel, nor any kind or physics acceleration available (geforce physX or ageia physX)

Odd enough, i could choose the 8400GS as my main display card and run anything on it, still there was no PhysX available....

any idea ?

edit : windows XP SP3 here

I'm pretty sure you are just supposed to plug in a DVI-VGA adapter to your Nvidia card "activate" the it or so I've read.
