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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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 thought about it but that stuff is pretty rude :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!"
