Does this work in a nVidia-only setup too? I have two GTX275's and have a 8600GTS lying around that could manage the PhysX...

^^ I dont think so because the PhysX accelareation would be on both GPU not just the 8600

Really? Mine has it I'm on my laptop and it's late I'll post pics tomorrow of what I mean, the laptop has Vista so I may be giving the wrong wording of the option.

Yes it works actually, a lot easier and you don't need Windows 7 either any would work. You just install the ForceWare and PhysX pack and its done automatically, the new drivers allow for this.

Okay I have some news. I tried running both cards at 8x mode and the Nvidia card didn't show up, before I had it at 16x 4x mode and it worked fine but unfortunately I'm modding my HAF 932 case and I'm using a small case for now which limits the very bottom slot which is at 4x, so I will assemble the pc outside the case and post, not sure how long it will take, but it will be done by tomorrow latest.

Sorry for the delays guys I'll get them up soon!!

Well I give up. I wonder why I'm having so much trouble. I've gone through this process 3 or 4 times now.

BTW SilverPotato, In the Screen Resolution Windows hit Detect and click on one of the boes that says another dispaly not detected then click on drop down where it says multiple display and hit try to connect VGA anyway. Hit apply. Now you can disconnect monitors. Once that third monitor is "enabled" it puts more options in the Multiple display drop down. But it didn't help me anyway. Maybe you wil have better luck.

So I just use my 275's in standard SLi mode, have the 8600GTS stuck in the third slot and I can select it as a dedicated PhysX processor via the drivers?

I know know it sounds too good to be true but it actually is as simple as that.

And please people don't give up I will post screen shots tomorrow.

Squid267 can you tell me how you have the cards arranged? And is your system the one your sig?

Well that's the problem the Nvidia card has to be in the second slot and the ATI in the first. I'm ALMOST done my case its painted and assembled back together now I have to put the system back together again.

I have one question for you guys out there, I'm not sure whether the memory is being used on the NVIDIA card or is it just using the core? Because I am out of ramsinks and my cooler needs ramsinks so if its not required it'll be easier for me that way I can be done without ordering ramsinks.

I'm glad it worked for you mistargill let me know how it goes for you.
