SLI Physix

[Quantumd0tz]

Hello,

I have a 7600 GT in an Asus A8N SLI motherboard. I am going to replace the 7600GT with something bigger and badder so I can get good performance with Age of Conan.

I realize two different GPUs can't be SLI together because each card renders half the screen.

I read for awhile about Nvidia trying to create a driver that would allow a slower card to be used as a Physix processor in a SLI configuration. I have searched the internet and have not seen any progress made toward this endeavor that I could use today. I read the Nvidia blog about Hybrid SLI but that seems to require a new motherboard, which I am no interested in purchasing at this time.

I was wondering if anyone has any news I haven't found. I was also hoping for suggestions on what to do with my old card(besides give it away or sell it)

Thanks!

Nope, no video card accelerated PhysX yet, but it wouldn't matter for you anyway. It only applies to 8xxx cards an up (the ones that can run Cuda).

Yeah, that's true, if it relies on Cuda, which is looks like it is from the blog, these old cards are useless. Thanks for pointing that out.
