About time! I was tired on the "I cut on the lines like u told me" threads.

how much performance do you think this card has ?

Actually, it would work out ok for Physx. The card performs well enough. Oh and thank you hayder.master!

mullered07 · Oct 15, 2008

you dont need all that much performance for physx alone, that should suffice

Mussels · Oct 15, 2008

well a 1x slot would hamper performance, but an 8400GS was hardly a gaming card to begin with.

Physx would work better on a 1x slot than on a CPU, so its got a purpose there as well as really tiny systems.

mullered07 · Oct 15, 2008

may end up picking one of these up at some point if the whole ati + nvidia physx thing works

it will work but you need window's 7 or XP

Hayder_Master · Oct 15, 2008

hey man ,keep windows 7 out , vista and xp , but maybe work better with vista with real dx10

niko084 · Oct 15, 2008

Nice, gives me a half decent option for people with these new systems that have no pci-e x16, but want something better than what comes in pci.

but vista can't accept two video card driver.

yeah windows 7 will :rockout:

Vista does also... It's just more work.

cdawall · Oct 15, 2008

sweet time for 3x9800GTX and a 8400GS for physx

suraswami · Oct 15, 2008

have a 4850, does it have physics processing units in it? If not I have 2 spare PCI-E 1x slots and may be this little guy can help, but in XP its not possible right?

Hows that ?

If I'm not mistaken Fits did it...

He did it with Windows 7. Vista won't initialize multiple display drivers.

Vista no. XP yes.

For example:

That would work in Vista as it is not initializing multiple drivers. Well should anyway, ask nflesher87 if he got his 98GTX SLI+88GTS Physx to work properly.

So In XP NVidia does have driver and both the cards can co-exist? hmm interesting. Far Cry 2, Crysis - Physics?

nope only PhysX games can use Nvidia PhysX

Yup. As far as FC2 and Crysis is concerned, I cannot confirm if having a Physx enabled setup actually works tho with those games. You will need to wait for a reply or ask around.

EDIT: See above^^^^

Excellent! I had a feeling something will come up for X1 some day! If they include PhysX, I wonder if you can hack them so they can act like an X1-based co-processor for your ATI card?
