You obviously need the card's display drivers to use said card. Here's another link to a guide. http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1456964

I understand. The guide just makes an assumption.

QUOTE (dling @ Nov 13 2009, 08:15 PM) The other question was is it a waste to use a 8800gtx just for phyx ? yes and no. Yes because it's an inefficient card (90nm), no because it's a nice tried and true card with good physx muscle. Though if you could make money on it, I'd get an 8800GT/9800GT (it would help out on space too) -------------------- Mobo: Gigabyte EP45 EXTREME | Processor: Core 2 Quad Q9450 @ 4ghz 24/hr stable!

Can this be done with Vista ?
 Every thing I've read seem to suggest that I have to have Win. 7 .
