another card for physx??

Creidim · Oct 26, 2009, 02:07 PM

Well, I can enable/disable PhysX on GPU calculation from my nvidia control panel, I'm assuming that if there is a second card present in the system, not in SLI mode, that it will allow you to select calculations on a specific GPU from the same panel.

I believe that both GPU's must be nvidia for the PhysX software to work.

Actually the way to get an ati card to run as your main card and a nvidia card as physx card, you just follow what frankie wrote in his first post. :P

all you have to uninstall your drivers for your card install the the card you are going to add for physx you dont have to add the ribbon and the start up and add driver it will pick up your second card as physx...for ati is a differnt ball game..

Got my system up and running, will post some pics tommorow, although no second 260, i got a gt 210 from my brother but i cant get it running as a physx card, everytime i try to install drivers for it, my pc crashes, and it's the same when i try to install the newest drivers for my 260?? anyone know why??

DJ BIG T · Nov 4, 2009, 07:25 PM

you have to make sure all drivers are unstalled then reinstall one driver restart computer then it should read your second card as a physx like this...

gamerguy127 · Nov 4, 2009, 08:04 PM

so uninstall all drivers, then install drivers for my gtx 260 turn off my pc then plug in the gt210 and it should let me enable it as a physx card?

Huh?

As far as I know you don't need to install the drivers again. I had a 8800GTS here. Plugged in a 9500GT and the system recognized the card instantly.

Maybe take a look with GPU-z and see if that program sees the G 210.

n00b alert..

you guys all talking about GT cards for this, does that mean the 9600GSO i have lying around won't work as a physx card ??

or are the GT's just better for it ?

Any card from the 9XXX supports PhysX

GT is just fancy word that sounds cool :P (or at least NVIDIA thaught so)

GSO is also really nice.

Which version do you have, the one with G92 and 96 Shaders or that one with 48 Shaders?

Asus one with 96 (i think)

DJ BIG T · Nov 5, 2009, 04:22 PM

the gt is a little bit faster then the gso...did you install both cards before you installed your driver? unstall drivers make sure both cards are in then restart add new driver it should read the second card as physx only...

Well it depends. These cards will be used for PhysX, not for normal gaming. I thought I've read an arcticle saying that the amount of shader processors (Cuda cores) are the important aspect and the clock of the shaders of course.

So that's why I asked which version niceguyrichy had. GT only has 64...

gamerguy127 · Nov 7, 2009, 07:06 PM

i found out that the minimum spec to run nvidia physx is, the card has to have a minimum of 32 cores and minimum of 256mb of dedicated memory, the 210 only has 16 cores

so it wont do physx!!

Oo, I thought you were talking about PhysX, since richy said "or are the GT's just better for it "?

It = PhysX?

im sure its all going to run the same in physx.. now batman would be something to get a bigger card for if you have the money i hope they come out with more games like this...

gamerguy127 · Nov 8, 2009, 04:10 PM

i exchanged the 210 for a 220 and i enabled it as a physx card but something really weird keeps happening, i ran 3d mark 06 and everything was running fine, at the start of th return to proxycon demo i was getting about 120 fps and an average throughout of about 50-60 but then for no reason for about a second or less it froze the my fps dropped by half?? i dont no why this keeps happening but in all the tests after that my fps are all half what they should be and its the same in games untill i restart then everythings ok for a while and then it freezes and the fps halfs???

i dont know whats happening can anyone shed some light on this?

did you make sure that a program wasnt running or maybe your virus scan didnt start up..if you have one..

Judas · Nov 12, 2009, 10:55 AM

installed the nvidia 191.xx (as the 192 apparently puts in a perma fix that prevents the mod from working at all)

along with a 5770 BEFORE the 9600GT i've got..

scored over 4500 in fluidmark...
