Nvidia disables PhysX when ATI card is present

paschov · October 1st, 2009, 11:35 PM

I have read through all pages, very interesting. I have ATI 3870X2 as a main graphic card and NV9600GSO for physics, Windows 7 x64. Hardware PhysX tested on FluidMark and working. Nurien Tech shows 42.151. I'm very interested in patch crack. May I have one to test?Thank you

Thank you very much, but as I mentioned in my previous post, I have Windows 7 x64. I'm afraid your link is quite useless for me. Thanks again

XP?

Well, i see the community is trying to make it work at least... But does XP really allows you to keep 2 GPU skus with separate drivers without tons of required actions?

Someone just took old files (from 185.68) and changed their resources and version info, to make it look similar to real 190.62. Needless to say, this doesn't give you real 190.62 with all fixes and changes.

I guess i should release my mod sooner than i planned, to keep the community from bad-quality drivers at least.

I vote for releasing now

Just finish upgrading to 2 x 5870s today. I tried using 180.58 drivers on my 9800 GT for physx but I couldn't really get it to work. I'm using Win 7 x64 by the way. The Cryostasis benchmark was the only thing I tried. It seemed a little faster than with Physx completely disabled but everything is rendered all wrong.

It's just too much of a hassle. I'm going to sell the card if there isn't going to be any good solution soon.

Alright then. You can get it right here...

Instructions included in Readme file. I hope there is enough info for everyone to use it properly. Don't forget, it's only for Windows 7, as it's the only platform where you can configure your multi-GPU setup easily.

I'd like to point out that the whole "fighting" with nvidia this way may look like we really interested in PhysX and are helping it to live further as a standart. Although i don't want to support it, i'd like to support people who wants to utilize their hardware the way they need/like.

What the heck do I click on? I got this weird thing with a cube, a stick figure and a broken heart pic?? I've clicked everywhere and nothing! Physx won't enable. I have a 9600GSO card and a 5870 running on Win7 64 bit.

Install the latest 190.x drivers, then when it asks you to restart say no restart later.

Run the patch program, click on the cake thing in the bottom left corner of the grey square.

It will say its patching and if it was successfully patches, if so close the program and restart.

Go into nvidia control panel and enable physx if it isnt already.
