AMD for graphics, nVIDIA for physix?

Yes this can be achieved, contrary to what everyone is tellin you..... But you have a 50/50 chance of stability due to driver conflics....for the physics processor (9800), you can go to start/all programs/nvidia corp/physics properties and in there there is an option for g-force physics or ageia (enable). Make sure you have both drivers up to date and they have to be both legit from their respective websites, don't use any Beta drivers..... I have not tested this in Win 7, only in Vista and XP PRO...

Won't work if you have the newest drivers. Nvidia has it set up now that it won't even allow physX to appear in the menu if there is another card that isn't Nvidia installed.

Ya know, its supposed to be open, and non proprietary, this kind of action flies in the face of that.
I can understand there maybe problems, as oc said, achieving a workable solution, but owners of ATI products I think would rather find those workarounds, and put up with those problems than have nVidia cut of support for this supposedly "open" ability

I totally agree..But no problem, I keep the older versions of forceware, so I'm gonna use them, and try to have the best in the two worlds, Physix and DX 10.1 ! Thanks guys.
When I started this thread I wasn't sure this is even possible, and I was surprised everyone is talking about it and how nvidia disabled it in the new drivers..Idiots indeed. They could've increased their market share and upped the demand for their slower GPUs..
