Nvidia accidentally release beta driver with No AMD/Nvidia mix restrictions

Basically you can now have a AMD primary and Nvidia PhysX dedicated with this driver, no hacks.

Nvidia have probably re-released the driver with the "protection" in place, so this is probably one of many places to get it.

A vid of it (not watched yet) :

No need to hack the drivers for this one

OK, so the video is in german, but it does show some cool stuff

75% of the driver downloaded so far....

I had the ATi Stream SDK v2 installed, and it caused my system to think I had two OpenCL devices, and that I must be in CrossFire mode.

It caused GPU-Z to crash, and Fluidmark 1.1 to behave weirdly.
And GPU CapsViewer would crash also...

One i uninstalled the SDK, and reinstalled the Nvidia driver (over itself without uninstalling it first) all is fine.

Thanks, downloading now! CUDA 3.1 should be awesome.
