ATI+NVIDIA Physx??? yes

Make sure you hurry up and delete that after he gets it fit. You'll incur the mods' wrath.

really? i have posted it like 9 times and not once taken it down. the mods dont seem to have a problem with me cause i seem to get away with alot of things that are supposed to be troublesome.

 

[Wile E]

Maybe they just missed them? It is against the rules. Meh, either way, just a heads up. Wouldn't want you to get in trouble is all.

its all good man. thanks for the warning.

Thanks, downloading that one now. in the meantime, okay got my comp up and running on the 9800gtx+ worked like a charm thanks! now just to wait until windows 7 redownloads...lol

 

[kleinnak]

okay shoot, got vista 7 installed but can't finalize activation as per the instructions or install my network drivers.

 

[Fitseries3]

run drivers in compatability mode under vista rtm mode.

you have to go to the link in the dvd and DL the activator and run it.

you had to set the bios date back to 12.0.07 before the install or it wont work at all

 

[kleinnak]

alright, i'll try that for the drivers. and i did that with the link and got the activator and reset the bios. might try just doing a complete do over, might have missed a step somewhere.

 

[kleinnak]

okay, got the net drivers up and graphics drivers up. is it part of this system to be unable to access any system tools such as the control panel or user accounts or display status or anything?

They cannot be posted in the forums here. Please don't do it again.

okay, got the whole shebang up and running now. got the drivers to ati and nvidia installed and running dual monitor right now...

 

[Fitseries3]

good to hear. you activated it?

 

[kleinnak]

yep, all activated and up and running. only slight as at this point i'm not sure i'm running the physx set up properly because i'm not seeing any increase in fps. haven't installed 3dmark yet but in some physx enabled stuff i'm running as slow as ever, like nurien.

 

[Fitseries3]

lol

let me find the instructions.

its burried in this thread somewhere.

 

[Fitseries3]

here you go... its a trick

1. install all drivers and get everything working.

2. have both monitors up and running.

3. right click desktop and go to display properties and select display settings(adjust resolution).

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.

 

[Fitseries3]

i wrote out the whole process in the 2nd post in this thread so everyone will now be able to find it easier.

 

[kleinnak]

okay, how many times is a few times to click enable in nvidia control panel to get it to say apply again cuz i've clicked it about 100 times now and got nothing so far and still no increase in fps in nurien (figure there's no way even without physx it should be running as low as 10fps at some points...)

 

[Fitseries3]

did you do the vantage 1.01 update?

reboot.

 

[kleinnak]

okay, got vantage at 1.01, and rebooted, but still having the same problem. can't get physx to actually seem to run. actually i can't even get 3dmark to run either for that matter. says some full screen error or something.

 

[Fitseries3]

yup.

the problem i was telling someone about.

i had that a few times and never could figure it out.


its your board. im not joking at all man.

i tried this on a asus p5q3 dlx and i could not get it to work at all

i got a asus p5e64 ws evolution and it worked great

it has something to do with the layout of the mobo.

 

[kleinnak]

bugger...ah well, it was fun to try at least. guess this means i can rma my board now for one that will hopefully not try and tell me my cpu is running over twice as hot as it should be and that my system temp is under -50degrees celsius...and in the meantime hope nvidia and ati come together on this at some point in the future. thanks a lot for your patience and guidance though . cheers!

 

[Alexandr82]

Any solution to make ATI and nVidia cards work together under Vista?

 

[Fitseries3]

nope.

 

[Wile E]

Just out of curiosity, did you try test mode in Vista, fits?

 

[Fitseries3]

yep. i'd tell you the 100% truth about the deal if you really want to know but idk if i should say it here.
