Possible to use a 780G mobo's HD3200 IGP for physics?

[Dazed and Confused]

I was wondering if it was possible to put my TA780G's HD3200 IGP to work doing physics or something instead of sitting there doing didly squat while I'm playing a game.

Noone knows or is it not possible?

Not possible.

PhysX is an nVidia thing, 780G is from ATi...so no, no go.

AMD is suppose to have some sort of Hybrid Power the same as nVidia where you can use the IGP graphics in 2D windows instead of powering your full discrete card.

But this will only save you power in 2D apps. I don't think AMD has some sort of Hyrbid Crossfire, yet, anyways.

Hybrid Crossfire

Preliminary review

From ATi website looks like it works with 780G + 3400-series cards? Don't know if it would work with 3650/4670/4850/etc or not. Obviously not going to happen with nVidia cards either.

You would be able to use the GPU Folding client to utilize the IGP, but there is no PhysX on ATI product (yet). There was rumor someone was working on porting it, but that's vaporware or what I think is more of a lame attempt at getting some free hardware. AMD is working with Intel and Havok for Havok physics acceleration, however there hasn't been any news at all about that in ages. Other than that, the IGP is only useful if you're using Hybrid Crossfire (again, limited to lower end 3400-series cards), Hybrid Power (nice power savings solution), or SurroundView/Hydravision multimonitor support - if you have need for more than 2 monitors running.
