isn't initial setup for using physx card with amd gpu is heck of a deal..it requires some dummy monitor setup and software crack, right?
I think I mentioned earlier that it is a hassle free setup and no dummy dual monitor setup is necessary. SO I am writing how to do it
1. First download the latest nVidia and AMD card drivers. PhysX can also be downloaded from nVidia site.
2. Download the latest PhysX mod 1.04ff from
here.
3. Download guru3D Driver sweeper. It is not available in guru3D anymore. You can download it from
Softpedia.
3. Now use Driver Sweeper to uninstall all the Display related Driver from AMD and nVidia.
4. Restart your system
5. Now install the AMD card driver, it is gonna be your main gaming card.
6. Now install the nVidia driver and PhysX driver.
7. Use the MOD as Administrator (Right Click -> Run as Administrator) to patch all the necessary files and registry.
8. Extend the display assigned to NVIDIA GPU. Or make sure it is extended already.
Special Notes
1. If you update PhysX System Software after using the mod, you should use it again to patch the updated PhysX files.
2. It is safe to use the mod several times - all needed files will be patched only once.
3. If you still have problems with fake displays and desktop extension, try to delete a fake display and create it again.
4. To let the mod correctly patch all needed files on x64 versions of Windows XP/2003, install KB942589 hotfix first.
Driver Update Guide
The mod is easier to do if you update drivers without uninstalling first. install Nvidia drivers and reboot. Detect Nvidia display in screen resolution settings but do not extend the desktop to it. Run driver install again, do not reboot, update Physx ss if required do not reboot. Run mod and reboot. Enable hw Physx and check it works could not be easier. Check desktops have not automatically been extended just to make sure.
