Hey everyone from tom's hardware,
Kinda new to the community and saw a few threads before I signed up that interested me. I've been looking around and I've found it difficult to see any proper information or setup to get two graphics cards from two different vendors to work together. The closest I've seen were from some older graphics cards i.e. the OP was using a Radeon HD 6850 like mine but using an old nVidia graphics card for Physx and it worked for them. I'm unsure if it's because I have a newer nVidia GPU?
These are the graphics cards I want to work together:
ATI/AMD XFX Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5
and
nVidia Geforce 550 Ti 1GB GDDR5
I use my ATI card for the main display and for the graphics. The card does not handle Physx well at all and Tessellation is a problem, running the nVidia graphics card runs through Physx and Tessellation quite well so in my opinion I think running both at the same time will improve both Graphics, Physx and handling Tessellation.
I've run the ATI through Physx and it rund about 1 or 2 frames per second.
I've also run nVidia through the same Physx program and it's run around 30fps.
Running both ATI and nVidia normally without any modifications ran around 20fps on display and 10fps on Physx so my question is if I can unlock/dedicate the nVidia card so it works only for Tessellation and Physx?
I've heard of using them Hybrid but the instructions were not clear so I did a rough download and install of Hybrid and used Pre-Hybrid but I think what this did was disable a Bink .dll file in system which stopped me from being able to play DMC, Bioshock, Resident Evil 5 and alot of other games I own.
Could someone help me out a little on what Files to download? Any help would be greatly appreciated. What do I need to do and I'm new to Hybrid so please, Clear Instructions would really help and I'm sure you'd also help someone else out with the same issue.
