I don't see why not. What would physics processing have to do with graphics acceleration? I always thought it was a matter of whether or not the software supports it; I don't think it's a hardware issue.

exactly. the Ageia Physx card will run just fine with any Nvidia 8 series card, or any other modern video card at that. it depends primarily upon the software as to whether the Physx card will be supported

Check the reviews some ppl made on it they were saying it had a conflict with nvidia 8 series but i was wondering if that was there own fault or it was in fact an actual issue.

I bought one of those cards manufactured by Asus and I couldnt see any benefit. The software demos that came with it lacked graphics and I wasnt impressed.

I think its still a bit early for the benefit for that technology but it may be coming around once software takes advantage of what it could have to offer. I read in certain cases benchmarks was lower after installing a physics card than without it. I think it basically was a bandwidth issue with the data transfer to and from the physics card or something to that degree...
