wouldn't really recommend using the onboard 8300 for physx as it really doesn't have the power.....if it's even capable of running physx.

Not possible. I don't think the drivers even allow it, and if they did, it would slow it down more than speed it up.

Ok, i also have an 8300 onboard, if i remove the 4670, i can activate physx, both from nvidia control panel and Physx control panel says "Hardware Enabled: Geforce Physx". I can run the fluid demo and everything...
When i try to use the 4670 as primary and the 8300 as physx(Windows XP), just to do some tests, i have to plug a monitor to the 8300 to be enabled, once enabled, the nvidia control panel says "Hardware Physx->Enabled", but the Physx control panel keep saying "no physx hardware acceleration", it dont let me to select "Geforce Physx"...
And i cant run the fluid demo either... i try Warmonger and the effects seens to be enabled... if i switch disabled/enabled in the nvidia control panel, i can see a big diference in the details, particles, everything can be broken... in disabled, does that didt happend. Still no fps improvement, in both cases fps where really lame, about 10-15..., is an IGP i cant expect it to improve anything.
I dont know what IGP you are using, this 8300 has 16 shaders @ 1500mhz, some people say that 8300 has 8 shaders no 16.. i dont know, this one has 16.

On i made it work on Windows 7... i made a small review for some friends of the 4670 as 3D and the 8300IGP as Physx in UT3... it dont come a suprise that it lacks the power to run physx..
you can look the results i made here, is in spanish.

makes sense, its not powerful enough because it does not have dedicated GPU memory, its shared system RAM, thus slowing it majorly.

I have my Geforce 9800GTX+ as primary display and Physx enabled on my onboard 8300. It's easy to do on the Nvidia Control Panel.
I've tried both configs and quite honestly haven't found much difference, although I suspect that i get a few glitches when the 8300 is enabled. Although I did get a slightly higher score on 3dMark06.
