Nvidia disables PhysX when ATI card is present with an Nvidia card for windows 7.

You could always start a petition for AMD to add Physx support to their hardware if it bothers you all that much?

PhysX is a proprietary, Nvidia owned technology - and as has been proven by this recent incident Nvidia is not exactly afraid to cut out systems that have ATi cards in despite the fact that technologically speaking an ATi rendering Nvidia doing physX setup is proven to work. Given this knowledge, what on Earth compels you to believe, even for a moment, that Nvidia would actually allow AMD to implement PhysX on their cards? Petition or no petition it's not going to happen!

Ahhhhhh nVidia, proving once again that you are indeed petty & vile. Keep up the good work! :D

I do like NVIDIA, I really do. Lord knows I have had enough of their products, but their continuing, as you describe it vile behaviour pushes me further and further away from ever purchasing one of their products again.

nVidia did offer to open up physx to ATI... ATI didn't take them up on it and despite this happening I still see that as a bad thing... due to the nature of the API they couldn't effectively just shut ATI out at a later date (had ATI taken them up on it).
 
NV are talking complete crap as regards to using the gfx card as physics processor with other vendor cards as the NV card is just another computation device just like the CPU when doing physics but only quicker at it.

You don't see Intel saying that Its CPU does not work with ATI/AMD gfx cards when running Havok nether did you see Ageia saying anything of the sort.

AFAIK ATi stated that nVidia had never actually approached them on this issue, it was all a media stunt. Besides ATi did state that they'd rather take on a more open approach such as OpenCL :) (which I gather Havok is being absorbed into too)
 
“nVidia isolating there customers one at a time”

Hello dear sir would you like to buy our brand new! 8800 I mean 9800 , sorry what I meant to say was 250.


If intel had the same train of thought as nVidia they would disable ati cards from intel platforms as there owned by AMD, thank god the retardation of nVidia appears not to be spreading.

nVidia really has to grow up & accept competition is a fact of life & all there attempts to reduce there oppositions sales just shoots themselves in the foot.

I expect they see a decline in 9600 & the like sales because of this & more developers not bothering with PhysX.
 
So, you won't be able to run Physix when rendering with an AMD/ATI GPU or <insert future other company's GPU here>, yet still be able to run a full CUDA app at the same time [in the background]? If that's the case then there shouldn't be much weight to a potential issue of drivers conflicting...

its just another way Nvida annoyes me

so much for "the way its meant to be played"

they can't force people to buy thier hardware and use some fake thing to sell things, people find out they have been well (fill in word i can find the spelling so i won;t bother)
than they go with AMD/ATI anyway oh dear Nvida

I m not a fanboi of ethoir, i think Nvida cards are great (but some of them are a bit over priced for what they are) too bad the same can't be said for the LGA775 sLI chipset >.<
 
What happens to PhysX to OpenCL, NV don't want it running on other gfx cards ?

Why don't NV disable CUDA as well under the same conditions & reasons ?

Yeah they should just disable Physx and CUDA when an ATi card is present. Then they can blame it on AMD :D GO NVIDIA!!

















... No seriously they are just fools, it's obvious they wont there own in house complete bull **** solution for taking over the world, but it will only work with a green sticker. ATi have taken the sensible route going open standard with apple and Intel.

It's a shame Intel and ATi cannot work more closely on RTRT, but I think Intel have that covered anyway's and we should see some very interesting things on the RT Intel front in the next 3-5 Years.

XD-3
 
hahahahah nvidia at its best yet again, blood thirsty and down right sneaky.

has anyone seen or played the new Batman Demo.

half the stuff that is enabled when PhysX is enabled in that game is great but runs like **** on ati hardware obvious but most of the stuff with is disabled could have been done without useing physX

i mean the visual diffrence is apparent, where by no longer does the game look the same with it on or off in that game

its getting rediculess and now we cant buy a addon nvidia physX card to use in win7

*NVIDIA i hate you*
 
I thought the advice was always to keep the cards to the same manufacturer and not mix ATI with Nvidia to avoid driver clashes. Was this actually a possibility in W7?
