Icrontic discusses Nvidia's recent move to disable PhysX when an AMD video card is present with a Nvidia one. So if your graphics is driven by a Radeon, then your second GeForce can't do PhysX work any more. Of course, again, no one cares about PhysX. Why? Where are the games at that support it and are good? Oh, yeah.PhysX is an open software standard. Any company can freely develop hardware or software that supports it. NVIDIA supports GPU accelerated PhysX on NVIDIA GPUs while using NVIDIA GPUs for graphics. NVIDIA performs extensive Engineering, Development, and QA work that makes PhysX a great experience for customers. For a variety of reasons–some development expense some quality assurance and some business reasons–NVIDIA will not support GPU accelerated PhysX with NVIDIA GPUs while GPU rendering is happening on non-NVIDIA GPUs. I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused but I hope you can understand.
