NGOHQ.com brings news that all talk about the Hybrid PhysX mod that enables users to run a dedicated NVIDIA PhysX card along with an ATI video card has been banned on the EVGA forums. EVGA Forum moderator nordicjedi responded to a recent thread that was talking about the Hybrid PhysX mod and closed the thread stating “Sorry guys, but this thread must be locked here. We’ve stated multiple times in the past that discussion of the PhysX mod is not permitted on these forums, as it is a violation of Nvidia’s Intellectual Property rights. This is non-negotiable, and as a partner of Nvidia, we must also respect its rights. Next thread discussing the Physx mod will earn a warning.”
As you may or may not know, Nvidia has robbed its customers by disabling the PhysX technology (GPU and PPU) anytime a Non-Nvidia GPU is present in the system (even IGPs) since the release of 186 GeForce drivers. As predicted, the community responded critically and eventually a user by name of GenL created a patch that removes the blockage and reclaims the feature. This patch is justifiable since we believe if a user bought a GeForce card, he unquestionably deserves access to all its features.
Now, it has come to our attention that EVGA is preventing users from discussing the PhysX mod on their forums. “Sorry guys, but this thread must be locked here. We’ve stated multiple times in the past that discussion of the PhysX mod is not permitted on these forums, as it is a violation of Nvidia’s Intellectual Property rights. This is non-negotiable, and as a partner of Nvidia, we must also respect its rights. Next thread discussing the PhysX mod will earn a warning.” said nordicjedi, a forum moderator on EVGA.
