You're right, that's what it says on the zone
Driver limitation probably Not that I could see many who would want this anyway.

 

[duckycrayfish]

i wonder what the fermi series will alow!

 

[jazon1]

nope but you could run an sli and use a third card separate for physx

doesnt have to be for physx... and isnt physx pointless right now? i heard there arnt alot of games that use it.

Well from what I understand, if you have a physx card installed and play a game that doesn't use physx, then you won't notice very much of a difference at all, but if you're playing a game that does use physx, the difference between having a standalone physx card and not having one is very very noticeable... I tried to play Mirror's Edge with my GTX 260 sli setup, and with physx off frames were high (not sure exactly what they were, but over 60 fps for sure), but then I turned physx on and when a pane of glass got shot next to me it slowed down to what must have been 9 or 10 fps.. haha (playing on max settings, AA maxed all that good stuff 1920x1080p)

Well.. while the graphics aren't super impressive, it was visually an enjoyable game to play nonetheless.

Well i'm prone to migraines and I played through it without too much of a problem..

It is admittedly a bit untraditional in how it presents itself, but it did work pretty well in the end.. It isn't for everyone though.
