    ATI + Nvidia as physx working but how do i get batman to see physx card?

    Just as the title says running a 5870 with gtx 260 as a physx card. Physx is working fluidmark runs in hardware mode, as does 3dmark, but batman doesnt have physx options i guess because its detecting the render card as a 5870 is there a way to enable it? and make sure it runs on the nvidia card?
