GenL’s Hybrid PhysX Mod Running ATI HD4870 X2 EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX( Dedicated PhysX Card)

YouTube user KilerChese has made two videos showing off GenL’s Hybrid PhysX Mod running on his ATI HD4870 X2 and his EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX( Dedicated PhysX Card). The video shows the screen running GPU-Z to confirm that both an ATI video card as the main renderer is running along with the 8800GT for dedicated PhysX and then run PhysX fluimark and several other PhysX benchmarks to see the performance difference running with the dedicated NVIDIA PhysX card makes. Check out the videos below.

from KilerChese’s YouTube Channel:

ATI Drivers – Catalyst 10.3
Nvidia Drivers – GeForce 197.45
PhysX Driver – 9.10.0.0222(Included with Metro 2033)
CPU – i7 920 @ 2.66GHz
GPU – VisionTek HD 4870 X2
PhysX GPU – EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX @ 650/1500/1000

GenL’s Hybrid PhysX Mod does not work on single vendor, aka computers with only ATI video cards. You need an Nvidia GPU to make use of Nvidia PhysX because it requires CUDA to run. PhysX cards do not need full 16x PCI-E slots to work at maximum, an open 4x or even 1x slot will work, as shown in this article. http://physxinfo.com/news/880/dedicat…
