Am I able to run the PhysX engine on an ATI card? I've read a couple threads that say I can download it, but either I'm blind or I can't find the download for PhysX without a set of drivers, and I wasn't sure if those would mess with my ATI drivers. If so, can you please give me a link? Thank you for your time....
 
You can run PhysX if you have an ATI GPU, however it will run on the CPU. For low to moderate levels, this is generally fine. To really crank up PhysX (on the select few games that support it) you need either a mid/low NVidia to be a dedicated PhysX card or a high end NVidia to do video and PhysX.

Ok, I'm pretty sure I get what you are saying. I'm really only concerned about gaming. Is there a different download for it so I can run it using my cpu? Or is it just the PhysX download from the nvidia site?
