I'm trying this:

My mobo lacks two long (x16) slots. So I'm buying a 8400GS, creating a notch after the bars of the first PCI-E lane on the card's PCI-E interface, so as to fit it into a PCI-E x1 slot. 250 MB/s looks enough bandwidth for a GPU that's just crunching PhysX and handling the second display head, since PhysX cards used PCI at one point.

Yes, that should be supported, though I haven't tested it myself yet.

What about drivers? It doesn't make sense to me yet but I hope you can!

nope it cant be done , unless physx is supported on ATI .

When that happens physX will be installed regardless of Nvidia drivers. Right now PhysX has to be accessed through Nvidia Control panel which means installing nvidia drivers.

Well, if you have a 8400GS, the Forceware will install for it, as also the PhysX driver, it will crunch physx.

Just as you could have a ATI gfx card and use a Ageia PhysX card, you can have a ATI gfx card, with a cheap NVidia card that just the same.

You have to install the nVidia Graphics and PhysX drivers along side the ATi Graphics drivers. Back in the old days, this would cause a problem because the drivers didn't get along, but now it rarely causes an issue.

I'm trying this:

My mobo lacks two long (x16) slots. So I'm buying a 8400GS, creating a notch after the bars of the first PCI-E lane on the card's PCI-E interface, so as to fit it into a PCI-E x1 slot. 250 MB/s looks enough bandwidth for a GPU that's just crunching PhysX and handling the second display head, since PhysX cards used PCI at one point.

Wouldn't it be better to just cut out the back of the PCI-E slot on the motherboard? I know people used to do that to their PCI-E x4 slots to allow second graphics cards.

Edit: Here is some information on the mod: http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/?tag=Dell_SC430_42

I know, but the plastic is too thin. if a small part sticks in (inside the slot cavity) during cutting, it will be a pain to keep the whole board under a watch-glass and use syringe needles to clear it, (the contact points are finer (delicate) than PCI or EISA for that matter (EISA's contacts were thick as those of the NES cartridge slot lol) With the card, I can just hold and cut it. I need to count the number of bars precisely and using a red felt tip pen mark the bar from where the notch can be cut.

I have the drivers and they run fine. I still have yet to try them in any games.

I am currently downloading the rest of the pack.

Got some more questions tho:

Do i need to enable the Physx to work with my card? If so, where do i go to enable it?

Also should i run is standard mode? I have a 8600 GTS so i guess that not a lot of horsepower, so should i go with multi GPU?

Ok, so i found the ''Physx properties'' and it is enabled to ''Gerforce Physx'' so my guess is that i am fine.

Yea. If you get a 9800GTX or GTX 260 you can keep your 8600 and use it as a physx card too :)

2nd display head? are you talking you need to hook up the PX card to a monitor also...cause if you are.....you dont need to in XP, only Visita.

I should have a 8400GS soon so I will test out the Radeon 4850 for graphics(the way its supost to be played ;)) and nVidia PhysX 8400GS :D

Would there be any benefit from using an 8800gt as a physX card over something like an 8400gs? What I mean is, either it can or it can't right? There's no difference in performance from processing power is there?

You would think a 8400GS is enough for PhysX. I understand how it works and its really not that bad. The Ageia physx cards were about as powerful as a 7200GS!

lol, I can't run a 7200 GS (if there is one), PhysX driver needs 8-series or above. The bare minimum discrete that I can get is 8400GS.

I think you have a point. There will be a rise in sales of motherboards with GeForce 8200. People will use a decent primary card on the slot, the IGP does physx. Intel and AMD IGPs could be in for trouble.

We're having a discussion in the the Phyx crazy thread.

Trying to work out if having an 8400GS for Physx will improve anything for people with a GTX200 series card. Something about built in CUDA...? :confused:

How can you say that ?

They were pretty weak in comparison to a dedicated GPU, slow processor, 128mb on board memory that was only GDDR2 on a 128bit bus I beleive.....could even have been a 64 bit bus :eek:

When Ageia was still Ageia and fresh out with a physics card (something new), both NVIDIA and ATI (yes, ATI was just ATI) were alarmed and saw opportunity. Both made tall announcements on GPU physics, With 8800 GTX and GTS (the first 8 series cards), initial specs carried a spec that read "Featuring NVIDIA Quantum Physics Technology!", that's what NV called its technology, while ATI worked it out, they showed their RDX series chipset based motherboard designs to come with three PCI-E x16 slots (x8, x8, the last doing x1), where they talked about configs with 2x X1900 XTX (XTX + CF Edition) and X1300 doing physics.

It was believed then that a GPU the level of Radeon X1300 could surpass the math crunching ability of the PhysX PPU.

Benchmark Scores Logitech UltraX Premium & G5 laser v2 + Ulti-mat Breathe X2 for fragging
Dang, 2.7GB full download. Good that server is fast, already have warmonger downloaded and don't need UT3 mod, but still 1.8gigs for a "display driver" :D

edit: my Warmonger is 437MB and the one in nvidia page is 445MB. Says it's v2.1, maybe it's never then. Probably just NVIDIA PhysX stuff added, as the smaller version is everywhere else.
