Hybrid PhysX and GPU-Z : BSOD at splash screen

[gingerbreadassassin]

Hi all,

I'm running a hybrid setup with the following hardware:

Gigabyte R290
EVGA 560ti
i5 4670K
16Gb DDR3
ASRock Z87 Extreme3
Win 8.1

The R690 is my primary adapter, and the 560ti is just there for PhysX. It works in fluidmark and Borderlands 2. Both adapters are detected in CPU-Z and SpeedFan. Whenever I try to launch GPU-Z, the splash screen comes up and my computer BSOD's. It complains about "nvlddmkm.sys". In order for hybrid physx to work, a utility was run that could potentially have edited this file, so that makes sense. I have tried plugging a monitor into the 560, which didn't help. I have tried versions of GPU-Z back to 5.0, and none of them worked either.

I want to use GPU-Z for its logging capabilities during benchmarking.

My questions are:

1. Has anyone been able to find a way to get GPU-Z to work in a hybrid environment; if so, how?
2. Is it possible to patch or fool GPU-Z into playing nicely?
3. If it turns out that GPU-Z is just plain not going to work, what alternatives are there for the application I am looking for?

Got a link to the utility?

Here's a link to the guide to get everything set up. I ran the 1.05ff utility.

Looks like Afterburner starts up just fine and has the functionality I'm looking for, but the skin is hideous

If it's not possible for GPU-Z to support hybrid physx, I won't have any issue staying with Afterburner.

if its just monitoring/logging you need to work, Afterburner worked for ME when I used to run Hybrid Phys-x.

I'll have to setup a test rig, replicate what's going on, then a fix should be possible.

Going on vacation on Saturday for 10 days, so it'll be a while

Woah, posts got a bit wonky there.

Anyhow, the Afterburner utility serves the function I need, so I'll use that. I'll happily keep an eye on this thread though, if you do intend to figure it out.

Enjoy your vacation!

Your PhysX is not working, that's why it give you BSOD. and you are following a very old tut. here's the newer version of it.
