Hya Been reading the above articles and noticed that its has an Ageia card working flawlessly with Win 7. I am stuck with AGP motherboatd and have a Nvidia 7950 GTX 512 mb. I was thinking of getting an agiea PCI PPU to run along side but will it work with win 7 or is it just a case of finding the right drivers? If so anyone got any suggestions

Thx in Advance

OK guys first of all Nvidia Physx is Great stuff the performance and graphic improvements are great but there is one big differece….they are selling their product to all game producers and other comapnies….ok that is what they should do to have profit BUT they cant say “ok we will disable hybrid configurations because ati did not make their physics engine or so what”…..ok guys you will lost your profit and community will just go for ati…why?……they are sick of those games and wars between ati and nvidia…they are leading a war and the community is the one who feels the biggest imapct of this war…….ok nvidia spend more time in faulty drivers corecting and develping new engines and other stuff….i had nvidia 8600gt and bought ati 4870 and now 5870…and do you know what? i am sick of those BSOD’s and GSOD’s and so on and on….ati is responsible of their lazyness and shity drivers and faulty gpu’s…..i am considering to go over nvidia but with this mod i don’t want to go……so nvidia is in front of ati that is obvious….they are more responsible and bigger workers than ati….but nvidia is not offering they are buying the market and forcing us to buy new gpu’s and stuff just to be able to play some game with their new technology which is released almost every year…..i am not nvidia fanboy niether ati….but this madness is just enough…nvidia dont want to share market with other competition that’s why they are releasing new stuff and claiming that it has new effect’s and quality and so on and on….that is not way it should go….and ati must be more competitive not lazy to make their grafics work….spend more time in QA and testing try to develop new technologies that will compete nvidia’s try to make us believe that ati is brand that we should support and buy because nvidia is doing it already but in much much more aggresive way….

Are you people not understanding what’s going on here?

NVIDIA stated that they were willing to work with ATI with PhysX but ATI doesn’t want to work with them and they don’t want to support it. NVIDIA doesn’t want to spend more time on getting something that’s not supported, working so they declined supporting the ATI + Hybrid PhysX.

It makes sense and it doesn’t hold them accountable for user’s problems. It’s safer and easier for them to remove functionality otherwise they’d be bombarded with user’s questions.

Had ATI said they wanted to work with NVIDIA to support Hybrid PhysX, you people would be happy because there wouldn’t be these conflicts.

Idiots. I was actually planning on buying a geforce to using alongside my crossfired radeons for PhysX. That’s at least one less sale nVidia will see.

nVidia, does it really make sense to arbitrarily remove 30% of the potential market for PhysX GPUs?

ah, yes.
I have windows 7, and AGEIA PPU works flawlessly!
for egzample crazy machines 2 or Sacred 2

i personally finished playing with nvidia at GF2 , when gigabytes ‘golden samples’ were on top…
and what a supprise… my brother`s much cheaper readeon 9600 destroyed this GF.
and from this time nvidia sucks big time.

its a complete stack of BS!
i own R 5770 and Ageia dedicated card.
in borderlands graphis is co dramaticly crippled, that i cant belive its UT3 engine!
and last drivers that workes with Ageia cards are 8.10.06
newer drivers simply igoners card, and everything is rendered on ATI GPU!

i hope nvidia die, and all their ‘brainiacs’ responsible for this mess will rot in hell.

PS.

I used to be on your side, because Intel is still selling “enhanced multicore Pentium 3’s” as “modern” CPU’s – that’s what an Intel Quad Core is. Therefore stalling technology for the benefit of their pockets.
But you’re even worse. SLI was your idea eh ?????
Believe me i’ve been a software engineer for the last 25 years and i know VERY well who’s idea SLI was. And so on…. As Seven mentioned above AMD and Nvidia should H/W DISABLE support for your cards.

This is my Official Position.

Sometimes i wish i was a lawyer in the U.S.A……..
But for now … because of your policy i’ll never buy
a card from you again , even if it’s better than competition.
And of course i’ll tell the story to all my friends……

Sincerely,
F.ck OFF
