stuartb04 · Dec 29, 2008

i have uninstalled a nvidia driver(i think).but i still got nvidia physx v8.11.18 on my system.is this a driver also?

i have had a look in the bios.dont know what i am really looking for though.

i know nvidia drivers and ati drivers conflict

Some boards have an option in the BIOS, others automatically disable onboard if you insert another videocard. Is there still an ATI card listed in device manager?

stuartb04 · Dec 29, 2008

yes my 4850 is

Ah wait, the onboard is NV

Same question, but replace ATi with NV. Physx isn't a problem.

just looked in the device manager its showing
nvidia nforce networking controller
nvidia nforce pci system management(it says disabled)

So no NV videocard anymore, seems it disabled it. If everything works as it should I wouldn't worry about anything.

What Dan said. Most will disable it automatically when you put a PCI-E card in. You can go to the bios and disable it if you really want to, but I think that it will be fine.

that mobo auto disables with a PCI-e card in it

Do you have 3dmark vantage installed? Vantage installs physx even if you have an Ati card.

@brooksyx.
yes i have vantage installed.

and i looked in the bios and it is disabled.

thanks guys

my Mobo has the HD3200 Onboard. i think it disables when a nVidia Card is placed in (but Device Manager still shows the onboard HD3200 in Vista). having an ATI Chipset i have to watch which Card i put in or the onboard will try to hybird with which ever ATI Card i try to use. setting certain options in BIOS like the ones below seemed to fix things when i tried to use my old X1650.

in my BIOS there is no disabling option

as you can see though i have the Internal Graphics mode set to UMA (uhh... what does the UMA+Sideport mean?) and Primary to PCI-E.
