I am planning on purchasing a new video card within a few months, and am wondering if keeping my current 9800 GTX would be worth trying to run for physics processing.


I have the Asus Crosshair III motherboard, and plan on usin ga Asus 5850 GFX card....

I am compleatly new at anything Physics related, and dont know if there would be any performance gain
 
Yeah if you are going to be using an ATI card as your main card then you won't be able to run PhysX anyways except games that turn it over to the CPU and then it would be a huge performance hit.

So yes it would be worth it.
 
cool....if i dont get a buyer for it i know what I will be doing with it then :) hate to sell something cheap, or not use it......not very hard to do is it ??? i tried a quick google search and couldnt find a how to on how to do physX with a nvidea card, and ATI as a primary
 
Don't even bother trying to sell it... just use it as a Physx card. Very easy to setup and works like a charm.
