Hybrid PhysX with an R9 280 & GT620

[Superwalnut]

Hi, I've recently ordered an MSI R9 280, to replace my cruddy old GT620, and a couple google searches of using physX with AMD GPUs later, I've considered throwing my GT620 back into my build as a physX slave. I was wondering how I would go about this, and if I would need to download old drivers for my GT620 to run it with the 280. Any helpful guides/tips would be appreciated, thanks.

Here is a pretty good guide i read: http://physxinfo.com/wiki/Hybrid_PhysX
On the other hand why do u require phyx??

Thanks for the great guide! And because physX effects are pretty amazing, its not necessary but it looks great in PS2 or BL2, etc.

Well you can try the guide. And see if that helps other wise but in my opinion you are going to be facing a slow gaming performance since most of the motherboards divide their pci-e performance from x16 (one card connected to pci-e) to x8 x8( two cards connected to pci-e slots) so if i were you i wouldn't use the GT 620.

With only 96 CUDA cores, the GT 620 would make a lousy PhysX card and will slow your system down. That is, assuming you can get the hacked drivers to work for Hybrid Physx.

Gt 620 would suck for physx.
Games these days that use Physx are beyond those hacked drivers.
