| Vista x64 + Windows 7 x64 (Ultimate) | GPU + PhysX card... I recently bought a EVGA GTX260 and I am very happy with it but, I also have an ECS 8800GT 512MN GPU that I was happy with. Trying to sell it will not be a very good idea because of how low prices are at the moment so I thought... why don't I use my GTX260 as my primary GPU card and leave the 8800GT as a PhysX card and take advantage of it this way? Problem is I don't know if this is feasable and if so... what exactly do I need to do to set this up? Can it be as simple as plugging in the card and let the system take care of it? |

| Windows 7 x64 | Re: GPU + PhysX card... AFAIK all you do is install it (without the SLI bridge of course), enable Nvidia Physx in the Nvidia control panel, and that's it. |

| Vista x64 + Windows 7 x64 (Ultimate) | Re: GPU + PhysX card... Ok, I have installed the ECS8800GT as my PhysX card and the Nvidia control panel noted this changed and defaulted the card as such. My only concern or issue is that in my display settings, the 8800GT appears as my DEFAULT monitor and the GTX260 (which is where I have plugged in my monitor's cable) appears as MULTIPLE MONITORS. |
