I have a 6950 2gB.
I also have a 9800 GTX.

I can't get into NVCP to enable PhysX because 'You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU'

So, what am I supposed to do now?
 
Sorry I can't answer you question, but I wouldn't even bother with physx in the first place.
 
Plug a monitor into the 9800GTX. Enable Physx.
 
I assume you're using modified drivers, right? You can't do it without hacked drivers.
 
Nvida locked out using ATI + Nvidia gpu's for PhysX. They feel keeping things as proprietary and limited as possible is the best way for PhysX to take off. Oh wait, maybe they're not trying to get PhysX to take off and instead just sell more graphics cards. To bad all those ATI users can't buy a GPU for PhysX.

CPU based PhysX is doing fine, btw. It's used in many commercial and indie games across current consoles and on the PC/Mac. I agree though that Nvidia is stupid to block GPU PhysX when a non-NV card is installed. An Nvidia card would have to be present to run GPU PhysX anyways. But PhysX has no professional-quality GPU accelerated physics middleware competition, a hint that making GPU physics run well on neutral hardware is not an easy (or even an in demand) project.
