Hey guys ive been looking around the web about Physx and Borderlands 2

Becuz i pre-ordered BL2 already and just found out about the Exclusivity of Nvidia physx on the game and im pissed because im a AMD owner...

so ive seen what people to about it..
Doing a Hybrid GPU...

the process of putting a AMD GPU for main GPU and then a Cheap nvidia GPU for PHYSx...
So i was like WTF!?!?!?

I have a GT 520 lying around, which is PHYSx capable...

is this possible and can someone breakdown the process....

My PC Specs:

i5-2320 3.8Ghz
HD 6950 2GB oc
8GB Ram
Asus P8Z77-V MOBO
750 v2 Corsair PSU

I have a spare PCI slot its not a problem...

So is this possible?
I would be so happy... if it is...

Thanks!

I have heard its possible, I believe I read about it on these forums before. Try digging around in the forums, should stumble on something. I know it requires the use of a modified nvidia driver (that nvidia does NOT provide).

Honestly i wouldn't even bother trying. Physx isn't some groundbreaking technology that makes games 1000% times better. It's not worth the hassle to get phsyx working with a hybrid setup IMO.

This coming from Nvidia fanboy.
