Don't really know what to do. Long story short is there's no option to select the on board GTS 250 for physX, only two separate instances of the GTX 275. Trying both yields the same FluidMark results: basically no load on the GTS 250. I've already tried a fresh set of drivers, and have no idea what to do next.
 
Some older MOBO's have had issues with running multiple Nvidia cards. If you're feeling froggy and want to try flashing your BIOS to the most recent version that could be a logical step. Check to see if its a listed bug for your MOBO.
 
Shouldn't be the problem, as this mobo has run 8800 and 9800GTs in SLI before. 750i SLI FTW in fact. It's also only one card. :/

Are you doing this out of curiosity or to get better performance out of physx?

Modern Nvidia cards run physx much faster than using an older gts plus the heat and power usage make better case for simply getting a 600 or 700 series.
 
yeah sell that co op gtx275 and get a modern card. even a plain gtx660 will be faster at handling games with physx than the co op gtx275 with both its gpus. and in games without physx you will more than double your framerate instead of using the gtx275 with the gts250 doing nothing at all.

I got it for $50 to replace a friend's 8800GT. Price was right and it blows the 8800 out of the water. Still no ideas on it? Some post from the EVGA forums circa 2011 said that the drivers from January of that year work, no idea on any later ones.
 
well the card was so rare and now outdated that its just asking for more issues than its worth. so I am guessing the rest of your pc is too outdated to make any good use of a modern card anyway?

His PC is quite outdated. If someone can find me something equivalent to a GTX 275 for the price I paid for this ($50) ay a GTX 460 then I would sell this card in a heartbeat but I doubt that will happen.
