This is for those using at least two cards. It allows PhysX on an ATI system (Nvidia decided to block that) as well as allowing you to use two cards that cannot be SLI'd together.

Currently, if PhysX is enabled, your 8800GT will do it.

Edit ok so now how do I know if phsyx is working correctly cause when I run that bnchmark it gets laggy and it reads my ati card not my nvidia card. I also can't access control panel without switching to my nvidia card other wise it says i'm not using an nvidia card even with the patch

Are you doing this in Vista? Because Vista only allows on display driver whereas XP and 7 allow multiple drivers. If the benchmark looks bad, chances are that PhysX is not running.

To enable PhysX, you have to leave the dummy plug in at all time correct? I'm using a secondary monitor, but everytime I disconnect it upon reboot, my Nvidia panel go away and I can't enable PhysX.

Yes you will need to use the dongle then. There are some that don't need to use the dongle not sure why or how. I have to use a dongle to get it to work after a shut down. You should be able to take out the dongle once your computer is running and PhysX is active.

This will only work in XP and W7. The extended desktop is normal and is how the mod works. Without the the desktop extended the card would not be active and run PhysX.

good question... dunno.. never tried it. Try it out. I have just ran a second monitor off my Nvidia card and called it a day. Also if I accidentally drop a window on the extended desktop I'm not as frustrated with trying to drag it back blind or do a restart. Note: I don't think you can use two monitors for gaming unless you have the new eyefinity cards.
