Hi Guys, how are you?, since last weekend I was playing Batman Arkham Knight... is a pretty fun game but it seems my rig is getting some problems to run it at "High" graphics configuration....my pc is an old I know, but until today you have to believe me, never had performance problems even with Crysis 3 at very high configuration. I have a non k 3770 with 8gb of ram 1600 and a Sapphire HD7950 Boost 3gb running at 1150mhz....I bought the VGA one year a go, and sincerely, although is very old and didn't have any performance problems, that game makes my card cry with stutterings and all kind of things....... well, yesterday cleaning my bedroom I find a lot of old hardware that I don't need anymore, one of those things was my old Pny 8800gts 640mb.... I was wondering if worth the effort of installing this card as a secondary Physx card or try some weird thing with it......I'm out of the market these days, I know there is a new nvidia graphics suite called gameworks.. I dont know if sitting an old 8800 could help processing that... or just help to the main card to make that heavy Batman works better in physics matter... give me an opinion, and thanks for your time!! :)

Unfortunately I believe nvidia disabled the functionality of running a secondary card as a phsyx card unless your primary card is an nvidia card (basically to stop people running AMD/ATI cards with a secondary low power nvidia card for physx).

Yeahhh... Mine was broken.... I remember with a friend of mine, putting it into the oven :p I think those cards all died young, they all had a problem with certain cheap material that nvidia used for welding the gpu and the vram..... was easy to repair with heat :) what a memories :D
