Hey gang,
I've been looking over the information pertaining to the BBII drivers that allow SLI support on multiple monitors, as well as physics support on a separate card. I was hoping to get some clarification on things. Basing my information off of: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=630
The slides show three options:
1. Single Card for Graphics and Physx
2. Multiple Cards in SLI for graphics and Physx
3. Multile cards, one handling graphics and one handling physx
The way the drivers are set up now, you can run up to two monitors off an SLI pairing, and more than that if you include another card in the set that is different from the pair running SLI - i.e., two 9800s doing SLI for one monitor, with an 8800 running the other two.
What I would like to do is this:
Two 9800 GX2 in SLI running my primary gaming monitor
One 8800 GT running the two side monitors AND handling physics calculations.
I know that it can handle the triple monitor issue, but can the third card also be configured to handle physx? I ask because the example slide doesn't show using SLI and a spare card for physics as being possible.
Any input would be appreciated. As always, I highly value your opinions.
Thanks!
