PhysX with ATI?
 

so i have a 4870 x2, and im thinking of buying a Nvidia card to do solely PhysX work, and so i need help in knowing what one to get. Im new to the idea of mixing cards, but i dont want to buy a High end Nvidia card only, so im looking for a lower cost PhysX alternative.

Thanks!

Sorry, PhysX GPU acceleration is Nvidia only....for the time being.

I can't recall if Vista allows it but I'm 99% sure that Windows 7 is going to allow for mix and match of cards no?

well i may have to use my windows 7 RC....

Iv heard i can buy a Ageia PPU and use the older drivers to achieve what im after? cant seem to find one online though

Although when the 300 series hits the shelf, i think ill try Nvidia... although i do like my 7900 GO on my XPS M1710, its a great card for what i do with it!

I don't think seven will allow to mix card because of the driver. I really doubt 7 can run ATI and Nvidia driver at the same time. According to many forum ( wich is a pretty wierd source ) Win 7 allow mixing of VGA with the same chip. I think we will have to contact microsoft on this one :) who want to call them:P

7 Will let you mix it, i found out how, but the new drivers disable PhysX with a ATI card in a slot.

Read a few posts.

You can.

Nvidia has since blocked this from their drivers according to my tests...

In RC versions of 7 you could have two drivers present at the same time and that hasn't changed but the PhysX is now greyed out when using Catalyst drivers alongside Nvidia ones.

Oh pftt stupid nvidia!

Only with new drivers, witch provided enough demand someone will probably engineer to support ATI. the old drivers will still let it work although.

Im thinking PhysX is a bit of a dead fish now though isnt it?
