Don't know how to enable it, but I also don't think a 430 is anywhere near powerful enough to run physx. Someone with more experience can guide you more I am sure.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Did a quick look around and I guess it should suffice for dedicated physx. Let us know how it works out.

You will need to designate the GT 430 as the PhysX device in NVIDIA's control panel as well.

I would have upgraded to a GT 440 but the 430 should be enough for most PhysX stuff.

As for compatibility with the AMD card, I have no idea how that works to be honest..

memory fails me, at one point you had to used modded drivers, but lately nvidia reverted back its policy of both co's cards working in the same system?
hmmmm

When you are dual booting drivers, it takes longer
