| Alright guy's. What you need to do is put your spare card in the free Pci-E slot WITHOUT a SLi bridge. Now boot up your PC and install the latest Nvidia driver's. Ok, now go into your Nvidia Control Panel and enable PhysX. Now reboot your PC and enable the spare card as your PhysX accelerator. You should now have a FPS gain anywhere between 3-17 FPS depending on system config. I myself use this and NanoSnipe can support my claim as he has gained around 10 FPS also. Give it a go guy's it's well worth the effort. PM me if you have any troubles I'd be happy to assist. Good luck. |

| LIES ITS ALL LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha jks, Yeah this worked pretty well actually. I grabbed the 8800GTS off the cupboard and set it up and now the 8800GT can do one job while the GTS does the physics for it, runs like a fuckn charm lol. |

Yes it does. That's what me and Nano have been using with the purely AWESOME FPS and stability gains. |

| You need an 8 series GPU with at least 256mb of memory to use PhysX. |

| i have 2 8800GTS's (640mb) and get no discernible difference in fps if i sli or set one in physx but a good increase over a plain single card.
mind you, however it does improve the frames in GTA4 (in physX mode??) which does not support sli vs only running a single 8800GTS |

| Hey Daemon, I was on GTA IV last night testing it out, after you download the new patch for it when you sign in, it runs really smoothly with the second physix card. So I can play it on the settings which I couldn't before. |

| Nah, you only need an nVidia chipset for SLI (or a capable X58 motherboard which supports both CF and SLI). You could even run an ATi video card for graphics and an nVidia card for PhysX on an ATi or nVidia chipset. It's only when you're trying to Crossfire or SLI that the chipset matters. |
