I have 4 boxes: Nvidia card in one, AMD card in the other and the other
2 boxes are IGP Nvidia and AMD. The thing that irks me is that if you
have an Nvidia card in your system then you are an Nvidia customer. But
you get screwed by Nvidia if you also have an AMD card even though
Windows 7 supports that feature. AMD is practically open source by
comparison.

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!
