550Ti for PhysX

[Skurge]

So I have a GTX550Ti Lying around. I was thinking of tossing it in and using it for physx. As you can see I have an AMD card.

Do the nV drivers still have DRM that prevent them being used with an AMD card and do I still have to use hacked drivers?

Also does anyone know how well it would perform as a standalone physx card?

550ti would be plenty fast for physx in a hybrid setup like that.

Eh, PhysX isn't all that impressive, and not really worth the hassle of hacked drivers and a dual GPU setup. Just flog the 550ti on eBay, there's some going for £100 at the moment 😛

Yeah, not sure how many people are willing to deal with someone from Africa.

Those drivers seem pretty old. No compatibility issues with newer games?

If you are able to provide both a potential buyer and Paypal a verifiable tracking service. I do not see any complication.

I run a hybrid physx setup like that. MSI hawk 460 and MSI lightning 7970. The hack that somebody already linked to in this thread is all you need. Everything works great. However, There are only a few games worthwhile. Both Batman's, Mafia 2, Mirror's edge and Cryostasis are the only ones worth mentioning IMO.
