ecacYou're right in some sense, but wrong at the same time. Since the cards are not in SLi together both cards can run at their own native speeds. It however depends on how well the cards can perform in rendering/physx. If the main card is rendering too fast, it must wait for the physx card to finish the physx calculations before it can render the result picture to send to the monitor. Hence why it can cause a loss in performance if the physx card is too slow to keep up with the main card. The 8800GT should be fast enough not to hold the 470 down.
@OP It's weird that some games don't work and some games do. I really don't know why it's acting like this.
That is exactly what i was trying to say, right down to the T, just for some reason, didnt quite know how to explain it.
