Dunno about the first. The second sounds like overheating. Do the cards have enough room to breathe inside the case?

You'd be better off asking in the Technical Issues/Bugs forum, but as to the first question, do you have a standalone Ageia PhysX card installed, or is your graphics card simply one that has PhysX capability? If it's the former, then there's a problem (and I have no idea how to solve it). If it's the latter, then the answer is that the PhysX compatibility in CoH is only enabled on standalone PhysX cards.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.* Specifically, the physX implementation on CoH is from prior to the Nvidia buyout and integration into Nvidia video cards. So the game doesn't recognize an Nvidia card's ability to play physics processor.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
My Nvidia card lets my change the physx settings, and I'm still using an 8600 gt.
Haven't messed with them here on my new rig, but I was able to change some physX settings without a phsyX card when I had the program package installed on my old comp.

1. why isnt CoX reconizing my PhysX card? i going into options/graphics and i get an N/A for PhysX and cant turn it on.
2. im running 2-7600gt sli cards on my pc and the video gets all 'jumbley' and the game freezes, sometimes shuts down on me. currently running on 2 gigs of ram with graphics at the most minimal possible setting. didnt have this problem a year ago. is my stuff just old and needing an upgrade or is it something else?
