Unfortunately, some dickwad at nV thought it would be cool to disable hardware accelerated physx on NV hardware if you have an ATI IGP or GPU also present. Including the standalone physx PPU cards.
Not only is it draconian, it's asinine, as it actually hurts nV from the standpoint that people owning ATI IGP or GPU cards that might want a dedicated nV PPU/GPU for physics can't do it anymore.
Brilliant marketing. Right up there with some of the recent DRM runs.
I've been running green pretty much 100% since 1998, but this BS, along with the obvious technical problems they have been having this year getting out their latest designs (due later this month) has made me decide to go red on my next GPU.
And yes, I know there's a "hack" that mods the Physx drivers to eliminate the "feature," but I don't think it should ever come to that. Nvidia shouldn't be retarded enough to screw people that legitimately want to use their accelerated physx processor together with someone else's GPU out of the box.
^D^
PS: Let me be clear: I could care less if Physx runs on an ATI card; NV owns it, and more power to them. The issue here is NV has killed the hardware acceleration on legitimate hardware if ATI GPU acceleration is present.
I sure as hell won't cry a tear, though, when MS finishes their DirectX physics API and puts an end to this BS.
