Quick question

Just found out I am getting a Dual setup (long story)

Anywho... I heard you can have one card for graphics only and the other for Physics? How do you go about this? I don't have the setup as of yet, it will arrive by next Friday.

Thanks for the info!

Hi Clay... Physx is setup in the Nvidia Control Panel, under 3D, Surround I believe. You might have to hunt a bit.   Once there, select which card is Physx and go for it. If it's a gtx 780 ti and gtx 750 for example, the 750 obviously is the Physx.

I have read and seen benches where you'll get a good 20% boost and others where it did little. Depends what cards you have.

I think it should work to take load off your primary card, increase frames, reduce heat on the primary and work fine but I can't say for sure.

Give it a go and let us know.

Thanks! I'm googleing it now. Trying to see what the temps are going to be as well. I know when I ran my single 780 during games, it would max out at about 60c. Been noticing peeps on youtube showing 80c or around there. Wow.
