Stan,
With Jason's share and a bit of extra reading, I now fully understand
the issue. It really is cheesy. But, in company's battles for
supremacy, and the current economics, I am really surprised more of this
marketing tit-4-tat is not present.
I admire and applaude "GenL's" workaround. Yes, as I have seen so many
times before, the users are caught in the middle.
In any case, though I use nvidia cards and ATI cards, I don't believe I
use PhysX logic at all. The last time I checked, PhysX logic is
disabled. I'll watch how this new skirmish plays out.
Best,
Duncan

The issue is that WinXP suported video cards from both camps in the same
system, Vista did not and Windows7 does but Nvidia has disabled that
capability with their drivers. What's wrong with having an AMD GPU
driving your main 3D graphics and having an Nvidia GPU to handle the
PhysX? Stupid shortsightedness by Nvidia and I hope it bites them on the
arse!

Hi,
Read the petition. Do not understand; so, can not sign/help.
What is the "cause?" All I see is ATI vs. nVidia again.

Hi,
I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I
recently signed:
"Returning PhysX to Nvidia customers."

I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage
you to add your signature, too. It's free and takes less than a
minute of your time.
Thanks!
