    Hi.

    I’ve watched your video and I’ve got couple questions as I feel hungry looking at the video title ;-)

    1) Why you use second card in SLI as PhysX calculator ? I thought nVidia recommended Auto settings (which sets up 1st card for PhysX) due to higher frame rate. It is exactly a bit higher in my 2xGTS 250 in SLI, does GTX4xx make a difference ?

    2) Why to add GT240 to GTX470es as separate PhysX card, if such config will drop FPS drastically ? :) MafiaIIDemo benchmarks show GTX270 needs at least GTX260 to make FPS higher. It’s a pity you said about GT240 and showed MafiaII with no benchmarks ;-)

    3) Did you try to set up nVidia 3D settings corresponding to using CUDA cores when PhysX-dedicated card has been installed ?

    Best regards,
    M
