I have seen some blips about running an ATI card for rendering and then an Nvidia card for physx. It came across the below review that proves this to be a BIG benefit for games which use physx, such as Batman: Arkham Asylum and Cryostasis. I was curious for both current and furture games. In the article they mention the newer drivers simply do NOT allow the use of an Nvidia card with an ATI card, so they used an older 185.85 driver and "A PATCH". I am wondering, where is this PATCH? I'd like to test this out. I may be able to borrow an 8800GTX from a buddy of mine and mess around with this idea. From the review the benefits are GREAT in a few games, and looks like there is a minimal impact in other games. 1-3FPS decrease over simply a single 5870 card.
