9800gt for physx only?

[tbear87]

im going to make this question short and sweet. right now im using a radeon 5770. i have an xfx 9800gt sitting on my desk. can i utilize the 9800gt for its physx processing to supplement my 5770? i do have another pci-e slot for the 9800. thanks!

Yes you can.

 

[tbear87]

how do it? just plug in the card and install the drivers?

I have never actually done it before but yes I think that is all there is to it. Maybe someone else who has done it will chime in.

Does physx even make a noticeable difference?

In games that support it yes it does.

it doesn't seem to work. the nvidia control panel only seems to open when i have a display plugged into it. and the physx is only enabled on the 9800's dvi port. it seems like nvidia made this kind of setup not possible, at least with their latest drivers.

Like I said I have never done it but I am close to certain it will work. Hopefully someone else can actually help .
