Default Just pondering a dumb idea
Well I know that there's such thing as hybrid SLI where the onboard graphics chipset can help the dedicated GPU right? Now of course I know this isn't even in the same ballpark as two of the same cards in SLI but here is my idea: If the dedicated GPU and onboard graphics can be told to work together, could they make two different types of graphics cards work together?

EX. You own a GTX 285 such as I do, but you have your old 9800GTX+ laying around, you plug that baby in and you might see a 10-30?% increase in FPS

What are your thoughts on this?

There are loads of things that are going on with that. ATI has a hybrid Crossfire with like integrated chips. They also have mix and match sort of things within the series, but the cards clock down to match.

Wasn't MSI doing something in this field?

Just grab a MSI Big Bang with a Lucid Hydra 200 chip in it, and you'll be all good.

What are your thoughts on this?
Maybe in PhysX games.
You could use the 9800GTX+ for PhysX

9800 GTX+ would be awesome for PhysX, but probably extreme overkill


To me it wouldn't be worth it to try it. Not enough gain. But it'd be awesome to gloat about
