Install the needed GeForce driver 256 package. Update PhysX SS (only 9.10.0223 or later) if needed. 2. Use the mod to patch all needed files and registry values automatically. 3. [optional] Use command line files to set a desired configuration. * INSTALLATION STEPS (Windows XP/2003): 1. Install the needed GeForce driver 256 package. Update PhysX SS (only 9.10.0223 or later) if needed. 2. Use the mod to patch all needed files and registry values automatically. 3. Extend the display assigned to NVIDIA GPU. Or make sure it is extended already. 4. [optional] Use command line files to set a desired configuration. * NOTES: 1. If you update PhysX System Software after using the mod, you should use it again to patch the updated PhysX files. 2. It is safe to use the mod several times - all needed files will be patched only once. 3. If you still have problems with fake displays and desktop extension, try to delete a fake display and create it again. 4. To let the mod correctly patch all needed files on x64 versions of Windows XP/2003, install KB942589 hotfix first. * Thanks to all beta testers! |

As this is just a patch to get PhysX running with an ATi card installed. So if you had a 9800GT first, and then through in an HD5870 Later, you could set the HD5870 as your primary Video Adapter, and then use the PhysX patch to enable PhysX to run on your 9800GT. Short Answer: You can install the ATi GPU & Drivers at Any Time |
