Im using a single 5850 in my build and I was wonder what Nvidia card I should use for for physx dedicated?
and how I can do this.

Nope. Nvidia drivers disable support for your PhsyX on your Nvidia card when it detects you're using an ATi card to render stuff.
Nvidia added some more crap to make it so ATI users can't or won't want to use PhysX
I think here is a link to a fix in this article as well.

And? Does ATi's multiple screen function work combined with a Nvidia card? No, it doesn't and you'll need to seperate them.
There are costum drivers, and you will never get the "perfect" Physx beacuse you can't enable the nvidia card's Cuda cores.. Also, i wouldn't bother buying it unless you find a really cheap one (and outdated).
Physx is for nvidia, the end..
there are custom drivers for it, yes it is possible.
google is your friend
I really don't see the point of going through all that trouble to use a dying physics engine.
I thought we're not suppose to talk about them because they're not actually legal.
It is hardly dieing, if you look at the list of games with it there are alot brought out fairly recently.
Deffinately not all that, but not dieing just yet
Yea I thought we weren't supposed to discuss them because it is a grey area. Stating they exist is one thing though, discussing and providing the means to use them is another. If it turns out I shouldn't have said it I'll happily change it though
Custom drivers are NOT illigal. Why? Because the GPU is every individual's own property, and it is therefore no restrictions on how it should be used. But keep in mind that using a custom driver can void your warrenty in certain chases
It isn't the hardware that is illegal, it is the software. The drivers to make it work are edited drivers from nvidia and ati and I'm fairly sure it has some code from physx in there too. All of which are owned by the respective companies. You can't just take a piece of software, modify it, and distribute it without the original creators consent
