I am not up to date on ATI graphics cards (I currently have a Nvidia 6600GT and looking to upgrade it), my question is will A8's Physx work on ATI cards? Do I have to install some drivers or something? I have read on some tech forums that Nvidia disables Physx support when it detects an ATI card but the thing is I am planning to invest in an ATI graphics card? What about Physx hardware acceleration on ATI cards? - Rav. Last edited by Rav Singh; 04/07/10 10:38.
