This was mentioned briefly toward the end of PhysX on nVidia cards won't work if an ATI card is used, but I thought it should get its own thread.

Instructions included in Readme file. I hope there is enough info for everyone to use it properly. Don't forget, it's only for Windows 7, as it's the only platform where you can configure your multi-GPU setup easily.
I'd like to point out that the whole "fighting" with nvidia this way may look like we really interested in PhysX and are helping it to live further as a standart. Although i don't want to support it, i'd like to support people who wants to utilize their hardware the way they need/like.

by Liandri / THETA
* DESCRIPTION:
This mod will enable hardware PhysX support for NVIDIA GPU, when non-NVIDIA GPU
is used as a primary display device.
- intended only for WDDM 1.1 OS (Windows 7).
- only for multi-vendor multi-GPU configurations.
* INSTALLATION:
1. Install the needed GeForce driver package. Do not reboot when asked.
2. Use the mod (x86/x64) to patch all needed driver files.
3. Reboot.
* NOTES:
1. If you are unable to patch the files due to "file in use" error, you may try one of the following solutions:
- Terminate all NVIDIA runtimes (nv***.exe) and Windows Explorer shell (explorer.exe) manually before patching.
- Try using the mod under Safe Mode.
2. It is safe to apply the patch several times - the needed files will be patched only once.
3. After reboot you may find "*.tmp" files in system directories left after patching. You can safely delete or leave them.
* Thanks to beta testers:
ghost_zero5, Pat, Skyfallkavu, Decebal, darthcyclonis, Kinnyo
* Do not let proprietary closed standards choose a hardware for you! When they die, the hardware will be useless.
