Forums - PC Discussion - A question about SLI and PhysX

haha yeah it is expensive I'll give ya that, but it works :P

I don't mind either of them really, nVidia cost more, but it's running smoother for me.

What GPU did you have before?

Yeah, you can use an unmatched card with your SLI setup... I've heard anything with over 8 ROPs is enough. There's even a mod to use an ATi card for graphics and a nVidia card just for physics, and usually a 9800 GT is enough.

And holy crap man, you probably have the most powerful setup in VGChartz haha

and I found a way to overclock my cards even though they're in SLI.

Clocks are 720/1532/1400

How do you do that actually?

I have 2 SLI 260, well they are at 680 clock factory setting, so I don't really need to touch them, but the damn gigabyte program only shows one of them.... I wouldn't mind a program that can monitor both GPUs...

There is a program called evga precision. No matter what cards your using, ATI or Nvidia you can change the clocks on everything.

 

Also @Hephaestos

They where 4350's

4350s are awful, they're completely worthless for gaming. >_>

1. Yes, but I haven't seen any reviews of what kind of performance this would bring. Or even if it would yield a gain. Proof that it at least works in principle is that new EVGA card that has a GTS250 and a GTX275 on one board, the former to do PhysX.

2. It'll be done in software. Connect everything up like it's normal 3-card SLI and it should work. Maybe there's an option in the driver control panel?

3. Going by EVGA's lead, a GTS250?

2. Incorrect. Do not connect the GPU you will use for physx with an SLi cable. All you will get is errors. Connect your main GPUs with the SLi cable. Install the lesser card in its own slot. Start your system. Go into the nvidia control panel and go to physx controls. Select your lesser GPU as your physx card and apply settings.

 

thats it, your done.

They were never good. At the time of their release you could have bought 4650s or 9500GTs for not a lot more that would be twice as fast. Why you had two of them is beyond me, it is a low-end card not intended for playing games at all and you certainly shouldn't try and Crossfire them.

You can't judge AMD on that, you should have bought cards in the price range you bought those GTX285s at - which, at the time of the 4350, would have been a 4870 X2.

@ssj12

Yeah, I don't have experience with the physical setup Nvidia's SLI.

This.

The 4350 is and always will be nothing more than bottom-end crap, which really doesn't offer much more than marginal upgrades for people who don't wanna use an IGP.
