I have my 8600gt on first slot of pci-e and my 4870 on my second slot and it works fine. if fluidmark says hardware physx that means its enabled right?

Yup its working. I guess theres different ways to make it work then, I figured if it didn't work for me that way then it wouldn't work lol.

Ok so I am almost done modding my case I have to add some components waiting to come and then it'll be done, by then let me know if you guys have any questions or problems, I'm still trying to figure out if I need ramsinks for a PhysX card.

Alright guys I'm all done with my mods and stuff and apparently I can't fit the 8800 on the 4x so I'll be doing it 8x 8x mode which is still great and very little different.

It seems I misread some of the options in the Screen Resolution thingy, so heres what I meant:



So all you have to do is click on "Show desktop only on 1" and it will make the NVIDIA monitor the default monitor, then you run the PhysX properties from the start menu and it will open up with the option of enabling PhysX.

Hope that helps let me know!

EDIT: BTW I had to repeat the steps I wrote because I changed slots so that's another thing to keep in mind.

EDIT2: I have no idea what happened with the screenshot but it was epic fail, just look at the attached one.

I also noticed that when you plug the DVI cable on the Nvidia card to the left DVI port it will not work, it must be in the right DVI port and the ATI card can be any port I think.

With the left being towards the motherboard and the right being towards the main side panel.

Did any one or does anyone know how to fold with our lovely humble dedicated physx cards?

I've never folded in my life but I want to make a difference so if anyone has any idea how to do it please let us know and I will add it to the first post, and I'll test it to see if it works.

I think technically the card is there and I assume it can work separately if its folding because its not doing any rendering instead of the ATI? I could be wrong.

Big newb here, but i read the thread and it all seems interesting but what's the point what does it help it? I don't play many games on the pc just civ4 and a lil Prototype. I do alot of solidworks and CS4. would this help with it?

Hmm.. Interesting! I want to do this, problem is I only have one monitor. Can I get a temporary monitor just to set up this PhysX thing and discard it after set-up? Or is it necessary to always have two monitors during boot-up for PhysX to be enabled? Is it possible to only have one monitor and have ATI + PhysX?

I am interested in doing this with my 4870 & 9500GT but the problem is should I keep the 2 monitors plugged to the cards or just do it during the setup only
