Mining hardware question

[white854]

This question may be irrelevant but i figured i would ask anyways.

The have an old physx card laying around from before physx was integrated within the newer graphics cards. I was wondering if anyone has tried to use one of these in a mining machine and if they have how exactly did they get it to work.

A physx card probably won't be much help for coin mining. As I recall, physx is for real time physical motion simulations, which usually involves a lot of floating point arithmetic. There is no floating point math involved in computing bitcoin hashes. Zero. nada. So custom hardware to accelerate floating point physics is no good for mining.

nobody has written a miner for physx and probably never will, sorry!

Thanks! I was kinda just wondering about that because i just had it laying around the house and really have no use for it lol and wasnt sure if the processing unit in it had any possible potential for mining.
