Need advice on a Physx card(Nvidia GPU) for around 100 bucks. I currently run a computer with a 4870 1GB(it's possible to do it on Win 7).:solegrab:

If youre talking what I think youre talking about, its basically another card that works with the video card and relieves it from having to do physics and you will see a small increase in performance. Its one of those, if you have the money and want to spend it then get it, if not you dont really need it.
I haven't researched, but putting a ATI card with a nvida card sounds like a plan that won't work.
At this point in time, ATi GPUS are not Physx-supported.
Most games dont even support Physx cards, dont waste your money, the 4870 is a fantastic card all on its own.
I think the general consensus agrees with you.
I was under the impression they didn't even make them any more and that they were never originally worth all that money to begin with.

That doesn't contradict what he said; the setup in the video is using the Nvidia card for physics. Also, that doesn't work in Vista.
Whoever was the moron who neg-repped me...I said that ATi cards aren't SUPPORTED.
They aren't, to my knowledge, without modified drivers. I was merely warning you.
