 Posted: Wed, 25th Jul 2012 17:46 Post subject: NVidia + ATI combo possible ? |
|
 |
I have a GTX260(900 MB RAM) and a Radeon 5770(512 MB RAM) . I'd like to use them together : the GTX for the PhysX, the Radeon for DX11.
The mobo is an Asus with X48 chipset. I have Win 7 64 bit.
So there's some chance this will work ?

As far as I can remember, it is possible via hybrid PhysX .. but it's been a while since I kept up with that kind of stuff.

Worked fine for me when I tested it with 5870 + 8800 GTS. I think that was less than a year ago. Really not difficult at all to get working.

Seems to be possible with Hybrid Physx mod, but i have to roll back the Nvidia and Physx drivers. I'm gonna give it a try though.Thanks for the replies, gentlemen.

Well, you are right. But i have these games on my list : Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, and BF3. Might worth the effort.

BF3 did not use nvidia physX.
For Batman -both games are not so demanding. If you are not playing on big resolution you will be able to play fine with gtx260 and physx on high.

Seems it will be better to just upgrade to a cheap GTX560 / 560Ti.

I'm going to have to agree on the "buy a single 5xx" -- there just isn't enough titles that properly use PhysX that would make a FrankenX worth while.

I have to agree i was looking into a hybrid setup when I replaced my 280gtx with a 6950 and could find no real reason to do it.
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one

Dont see the point. gtx260 is clearly better card,has more memory for bigger resolution and it is nvidia=you dont have to fight with buggy ATI drivers...
