    heyyy so it says
    CJ let us know that the Nvidia PhysX driver changes some DLL files files within 3DMark Vantage and overwrites them with new versions. These versions cause your PPU to stop working, but will offload work to the GPU if you have a PhysX capable graphics card like GF9/GTX 200. When you install a Radeon you can't get your PPU back to work since NV overwrote the original DLLs.

    so i had a 8600GT and now i got a radeon, so will dis effect me?? :shocked:

    Oh,c'mon everybody reinstalls the OS or clears out drivers with a driver cleaner b4 new VGA installation.U might asd well remove 3Dmark and relevant things.By the way I dont think now it has a problem.People now install two ATI cards for graphics and a nVIDIA for the PPU operations namely PhysX. :D
    But in XP environment.Vista will disable one automatically.Will need a driver hack.

    It seems nvidias new GTX200 drivers modify some files of 3Dmark vantage so the Driver can offload the Physics instructions to the GPU...i mean that sucks, its so low
