@stereokumonomu,

At the moment, I got no time to go for Batman Arkham Asylum.

I am using 2 monitors (each monitor connected one display card.)

I received couple of PM about the workable solution on the ATI + nVidia Physx solution. Below is my reply and hopes that would help some other people.

The forum is in chinese words

can translate with google

thank you for ur advice... the 8600gt physx engine is not powerful enough for the new physx powered game such as batman akhlam asylum and nurien demo...as i run the physx benchmark test, the score is not high enough with gtx260 too... gtx260 with dedicated 9800gtx as physx adapter would be recommended for high setting of physx in batman A.A .. another game like cryostasis needed heavy physx calculating too... in high physx setting.. thank you

Added on February 22, 2010, 1:39 pmya i am using one monitor too.... u connect ur ati card ( primary adapter ) to the dvi port... nvidia ( secondary adapter ) to vga port....this is to bluff the nvidia card that u are using it.... without connecting the nvidia card to monitor, ur nvidia control panel would be disabled and never could open to enable the physx...of course u need to apply a patch first

theres a guide on the internet on how to do it with single monitor...involves a DVI-VGA dongle and some resistors....easily done...google and see

oh dear, i hv just bought a used 8600GT with the intention of running physx.

What's your main card?

4890. soon gonna CF

So 4890 Crossfire + 8600GT as PhsyX? A few FPS(1~3) wouldn't affect anything with your specs, I guess.

can we use sli by using different type of nvidia cards ?

You can't. For SLI, same model only.

sorry guy i didnt understand well how to make physix setup..so can i ask abit bout physix setup and need ur help

i got 5850 as main and 88gt as physix.
but prob now i need to run main card at 2nd slot while physix at 1st slot..izzit ok?
while installing the main card driver(ati) shud i plug in both card in their slot?or need 1 by 1?abit confius
the physix card must plug the cable to monitor to enable the physix?or can let it be w/o connect to monitor?

ive tried plug in slot both card and wanna start install ati driver 1st..but i can get any signal from the ati card
so abit unclear bout how to start the setup..been read in forum but didnt found they stated mush put main card only or can put both and need to slot one by one after done installed driver one by one..thx for ur help

Bro..here some tips:
Would be better do this on fresh windows installation,make sure to download the patch and new forceware.(depend on the GC as well as the patch)
Here's The Link:
http://www.ngohq.com/graphic-cards/17706-h...03-v1-04ff.html

1-Plug ur main GC (ATI)on the pci-x16
2-Then ur nvidia GC on pci-x4 enough already.
3-Then log to ur windows and start installation
4-Install ur ATI catalys 1st then reboot
5-Then install nvidia forceware reboot
6-Then log windows into safe mode press F8
7-Use then GenL patch,patch it then reboot
8-Log in to windows,go to screen resolution - detect - click on the nvidia
adapter extend it.
9-Go to the nvidia - physx section - enable
10-Then run fluidmark for physx testing..

I have tested on my AMD RIG which use XFX 6850 + ZOTAC 9600GT,
1st time i have no idea that the GC is working.Then i try to reformat back my pc the thing already ok..
Note:Do not patch it to many times.
