    Is it possible to enable Physics with ATI cards? I just ordered two of them and don't really know how or what to do setting them up. Any help? Thank you .

    PhysX only works on Nvidia cards, you can have an ATI with an Nvidia card and use that for physX but requires a hack of some sort, another guru should be able to provide info on that.

    its possible if you have a nvidia gpu.

    For example, I've a 5870 for rendering and an 8800 physx dedicated.

    Its very easy to setup, the only thing you have to do is download "physx patch 10.2" and follow a very simple instructions.

    Saludos!

    It allows them to update and improve physx without pumping updates out through each game.

    Instead of updating Batman and Cryostasis and Mirror's edge, the physx files are just updated.
