ASUS M4N68T-M-V2 Graphical Concern

[Mike Soda]

My motherboard is an ASUS M4N68T-M-V2 with NVIDIA GeForce 7025 Graphics Controller. I'm fairly certain that it's disabled though as I'm running a 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6450 dedicated card. My question is do I need to have PhysX 9.10.0129 installed even though my motherboards integrated graphics are disabled?

You cannot run physx on an AMD card so no.

not if you don't intend to use physx . and please , don't use comic sans

Really if you aren't using the motherboard's graphics you don't even have to nvidia drivers installed.

If you have an AMD card physx are already handled by the cpu by default, so it wouldn't make a difference whether or not the drivers for nvidia are even installed.

Physx was probably installed with a game, if you want that game to work properly then leave it installed.

Comic sans is great.

The Nvidia driver on these old motherboards(Nvidia MCP) controls more than just the graphics, it also controls the integrated nforce LAN and USB ports(sometimes even audio and FireWire).

The driver is only there if you want to run a seperate physx card.

I know that PhysX is an Nvidia feature only & I'm sorry if the font I used in my first post was hard to read or something. When I bought this low-end Cyberpower PC though it game with that installed on here. I just never touched it because back then I knew a lot less than now although still learning. I don't ever plan on running a PhysX card so I'm guessing that means I can remove it.

I never had a game that used PhysX, it just came pre-installed on this Cyberpower extremely low-end gaming PC that I got off Newegg over 5 years ago. The only game I play is RuneScape & that uses DirectX or OpenGL. So you're saying there's a chance that if I uninstall PhysX that it could mess with my NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet or NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a chipset?

If all you play is RuneScape then it will be fine to uninstall PhysX, and PhysX is separate from your motherboard driver so it won't effect that.
