UPDATE!


A person has raised a good question and I need your help on this one. If you've tried this on a Nvidia chipset please reply and tell us how you did it, it seems that it doesn't work in Nvidia chipsets. I don't have a Nvidia board and most people who try this don't because:

They have crossfire as their only option hence they go with an ATI card and then realize its unfair and they want PhysX too so they get a Nvidia card just for that. If you have a Nvidia chipset you most likely have a Nvidia card.

Well with my mobo I use the Blue and Black slots, the Blue runs at 16x while the Black runs at 4x, but that's ok because the 4x is the Nvidia Card. I think its the same with that board.

I also have a question... What about running 2 nvidia cards in SLI (instead of the ati you guys are using), and adding a 3rd nvidia card (not SLI) to process the PhysX?

Is this also possible? And how old may that 3rd card be? (would an old nVidia DDR work? )

Yes that is possible, Nvidia's latest drivers allow that to happen in any operating system without any hassle, it must be a 8000 series and up to have PhysX capabilities. You just leave the card by itself and SLI the other two, then install drivers and PhysX pack and then run "Nvidia PhysX Properties" in the Start Menu and select a GPU to use PhysX on.

I didn't search around, figured to ask first here, why not...

Does this work with Crossfire setups ?

ie: Could I just add a 3rd GPU being Nvidia for PhysX, say like a 9800GTX+ or the like ? I have the space for it, just wondering if it'll work out and if it'll be setup any different. This is basically just hypothetical, but a possible setup I may try.

Yes it is possible but the downfall is that the speeds of your PCI-E slots may change, for example if you have 16x 16x now and add another you may end up 8x 8x 4x which is good enough because 4870s don't utilize the full 16x bandwidth.

Your setup should work because you are not using the Nvidia for rendering.
