hmm..
i have a SLI motherboard, but what if i tried to plug the two into the system at the same time? didnt they use a x1900xtx as a physx card?
i know its probably not possible... but what effect would it have if i tried puttin both in at the same time? lol

I'm pretty sure you would choose between one or the other in the bios. I don't think they would work in tandem.

check that out... an x1900crossfire x1900xtx and a x1600pro for physx.
i wonder if theres any way to do that for my rig. i may even sell the 7800gt and buy an ATI card if my SLI motherboard could support it... i wonder :D
lol maybe someday they'll be using a video card as an entire pc lol... jeeze they're just so much better for anything.. or so it seems at the moment lol
i mean really... my video card has as much system memory as my dads computer... and 4 times the amount that my neighbors system memory has. i still dont know how she runs the thing on windows XP + 128mb of memory. can you say paging file lol SLOW

got a source? id like to read something... an article... anything.
couldnt find anything on nvidias website. what GPU's will support this? maybe i ought to keep that extra card around after all :D
 
its going with its own "Boundless Gaming" thing, nVidia did SLI first, but ATi is going to prefect it first
 
this is physics accelerators... it has nothing to do with two cards accelerating graphics. its a seperate card accelerating physics.
 
1. What ATI did wont work on your motherboard considering its a SLI motherboard and not crossfire.

2. You would prabally see a much larger performace running normal SLI, then one running as a phsics card. At least for a while.
 
Apparently, a $120 X1600 card could outperform ageias cards.

ATI says they have the best physics processing in the world stating that their branch execution unit eliminates much overhead as compared to team Green.

Also ATI says they are going to be simply faster than an Ageia PhysX card even with using a X1600 XT and that a X1900 XT should deliver 9 X the performance of an Ageia PhysX card.

ATi has some nice business ahead of them thats for sure.
