Question: physx/cuda with triple 8800 GT
Howdy.
__________________So, I've been curious about this since it was first talked about that the 8/9 series cards were to have physics etc. processing support: If i were to have two 8800 GT cards in SLI (or any two cards in SLI for that matter), will enabling the physics cancel out the SLI ? (ie, does one card therefore handle only the physics ?) More importantly, I've been wondering: If I had a mobo with tri-sli support, could the third slot be used for a card that handles the physics/cuda while the other two cards are in SLI ? (for example, 8800 GT doesn't tri-sli, but if i added a third one, with the upcoming drivers, what will happen ??) Haven't been able to find an answer, and was pretty interested in finding out. Peace.

I wouldn't waste my money on buying another GT for physx. But if you have another pci-e slot with at least x4 lanes then you could add in a 8400 GS or something and yes it will work once the official drivers come out this month.

Fair deuce.
__________________But adding any card to third slot should work, so that's the answer I was hoping for. Thanks.
