pipnasty over at the Overclock.net forums has put together a really nice guide on how to enable ATI+Nvidia PhysX on a single monitor. As he states there are already a lot of guides out there to do this however pipnasty has put together a very clean and easy to follow guide with some pretty nice pictures and screenshots of his setup after completion. This guide also does a great job with some nice pictures showing how to create the VGA dummy plug required to trick windows into thinking there is an extra monitor attached to the dedicated PhysX card. Check out the guide here.
from the Overclock.net forums:
Hi all! I decided to do my own guide for enabling PhysX with an ATI primary card. I know there are a bunch of guides out there already, but I think this would be helpful for people who need the extra details, and are using a single monitor.
How to enable ATI primary + Nvidia PhysX on single monitor:
12/23/2009
What you need:
- Any Nvidia Geforce 8 series and above (recommended: 8800GT or higher)
- DVI to VGA adapter (this comes free with most GPUs)
- 3 pcs 68 ohms 1W resistors
- Existing ATI Driver (I had the official ATI 9.12, not the hotfix one)
- Nvidia 195.XX Driver or later (I used 195.62)
- Nvidia PhysX 9.09.1112 Driver or later (optional – no need if already have an older version)
- PhysX patch/mod/crack (1.02) (The old PhysX patch/crack v1.01 won’t work with Nvidia 195.XX drivers)
Read the rest of the guide here.
