Can a 470 be run with a 8800GT running PhysX I know not in SLI ....
I seem to remember reading some where that it could be done. Although I don'nt remember if i needed extra softwere. Or for instance my MB is a cross fire board so it has 2 PCI-E slots . Would i need to buy an SLI board ? I changed out from 2 4890's cross fired to the EVGA 470 super clocked just for the 3D vision ! Thought i mite beable to put my old 8800GT to use since it just sitting around clolecting dust . Any info would be great thx ! :unsure:

I am pretty sure you can with that board.If you already have the 470 installed all you should have to do is power down and install the card and it should install the driver automaticly.
Then just open the nvidia control panel and select the card you want to dedicate for physx.

You will be fine. I have been running dedicated physx card in my rigs with Xfire mobos for a long time (this is my first SLI mobo in years). Since 3D vision puts extra load on the main card, it should be able to help by adding that 8800gt specially if OCed.

if your mobo has an ATI chipset then in order to get Physx working you will have to use the hack that can be found online. Physx is disabled at the driver level when an ATI GPU or chipset is detected. Sad but true.

That's stupid. Like it's any of NVidia's business what chipset or GPU the consumer wants to use. It doesn't affect me, though, but I'd certainly be a little upset if it did. Having a dedicated Physx card seems rather pointless anyway. It has no effect in 99.9% of games and even in Batman: AA I still couldn't get 60 FPS in 3D with one. Meh.

Wait a second there, I have seen people complaining about the Physx thingy not working when ATI card is on the system and having to use hacks but I have been reading that for a LONG time and through out all that time I was running AMD phenom on xfire mobos and never had a single issue so I highly doubt the chipset comes into play unless they changed things since I got my i7 which was very recent.

Hrm thx for all the imput ! i stuck the 8800GT in there and win 7 installed the driver for it from its genaric driver data base im guessing and then there was no nvidia control panel . I didnt have to change the VGA cable or any thing but according to my sys i was running only the 8800GT so i dont know what to do i just took it out and rebooted couldnt get any thing to work outa safemode so reinstalled win 7 fresh lol ill just leave 470 on it own for now :-)

You need to uninstall the NVIDIA display drivers first, shut down , then install the hardware, restart, let windows install the wddm , restart, install latest NVIDIA drivers. Go to control panel and select the 8800 as dedicated PhysX.
I know you can't run NVIDIA PhysX on a system with a primary AMD card, but I don't know about a chipset, I don't think it would be a factor.

I've installed my GTX 285 as secondary card for physx together with my GTX480.
I did some extensive benchmarking but i'm unable to see much of an improvement. Batman: AA with 8x CSAA and everything on high does not give my any performance improvement when using the GTX 285 as Physx card.
I tried the 3d fluid physx benchmark which gives me 10 frames more with the GTX285 as physx but that is with and 300 fps avg framerate. So the 10 frames is like a 3% improvement. So it's really not worth the power draw imho.
Just Cause(dunno if it's a physx game) runs a bit slower with a dedicated physx card. (-0,5 fps on avg)
Cryostatis Physx benchmark also runs a bit slower with the dedicated physx card.(-0,5 ~ 1fps on avg)
It seems that a. the driver are not optimized or b. the physx calculations are so small in terms of GPU load the GTX480 does this with 2 eyes closed.

Correct, in which case the integrated GPU should be disabled in the bios.
