I got a xfx 8500gt 512mb ddr2, evga 9500gt 1bg ddr2. which one will be better for physx without slow down the game?

They both wont be that great for PhysX, plus AFAIK it isn't an easy task to get AMD and Nvidia drivers to play nice. The minimum I would suggest as a PhysX card is around a 250.

They are basicly the same card. the 9500 is slightly faster so use it. when you install it go into the nvidia control panel and tell it that is a dedicated physx card. with luick you won't get the driver conflicts that PP mentioned.

What, you can now use an nvidia card as a dedicated physx with AMD video as a primary ?

You have always been able to but in past days getting around the block was a terrible PITA.

it was a nightmare before. had to use a third monitor and then set the nvidia as primary etc etc etc. Nvidia needs to just make it where we can run physix on amd based vids.

I would love to do this with the system I'm getting ready to build. I have the 7870 I'm going to be using as my primary card. However, I also have a GT610 sitting at home not doing anything else. If I can get it to be a physx card, that'd be awesome. Most likely though, I won't end up doing this and the GT610 will end up being a tester card.

Not sure if people are still able to do this or not.

I guess I can try this. I have the card and system resources here at work :p.

Where can I start on getting this to work?

I'm not trying to be an ass at all, but Google. Haven't seen people do this since the Vantage days.

lol. No, I kinda expected that to be the answer. So long as you didn't say, "Google" and have Google be a link for LMGTFY :p

I do that to people sometimes. Especially when I'm in troll mode or when a person is like, "I don't believe you!"
