PhysX Driver that Works on all Capable GPUs to be out by August
Reports by TG Daily suggest that NVIDIA could release a WHQL-certified stable release PhysX driver that supports all capable GPUs GeForce 8 series thru 9-series and GTX 200 series. The driver would expand driver-level support to all PhysX-based game titles including the likes of Ghost Recon 2: Advanced Warfighter, Warmonger and Cell Factor: Revolution.
It is expected that downloads of free games such as Warmonger and Cell Factor could spike in August since the user-base of PhysX substantially increase then. The driver is expected to be out on the 5th of August. Source: TG Daily |

NV GPUs, which is why I declared the contents of "all capable" ( 8 series....9 and GTX 200).

The only games that this will work on is the games with PhysX... Unreal Tournament 3, Gears of War, those ones.. Just any game that has a Agaia Logo or Nvidia PhysX at the start.
Glad to see that it's almost here for the majority of people.

I am interested in the benefits of it, I was reading somewhere that a guy that's able to use the beta in a game like Warmonger lost about 5-10FPS...but the physics were improved. Could be BS, but if I'm getting plenty of FPS, losing 5-10 for more physics might just be worth it! Time will tell, I guess we'll find out in due time!

Unreal, Gears, is nothing but butter for me when I had my Gx2... I loved using it. Once I get my GTX on Friday, It will be in there... I don't feel the lag of having 20 things going on at once... and kept straight at 64fps on unreal during play. Even internet play.

This is great news. I dont change drivers very often because I have to reconfigure Rivatuner each time (I struggle with RT) but I'll be giving this one a go. Then I dont need to be envious of the people happily running modded drivers with phys-x

For a second, I thought Nvidia is going to release PhysX for ATI cards too

thats up to ATI. Nvidia made a statement saying its ok for ATI to do so, and ATI replied in a confusing manner.

the physx app with GPU support also has options for the ageia card, dont the drivers come with that? if so its only changed hands as its on the NV site.

Warmonger and GRAW2 are almost un-playable You have to install CUDA in order to get Nvidia´s latest (08.06.12 drivers) to work with an Ageia PhysX card???(or at least I have to - works great with the latest Ageia drivers)

latest Nvidia drivers for PhysX (but then again...you are also running with a Nvidia GPU..so maybe thats the reason why it works for you?) I said "or at least I have to..." Mussels - I have contacted Nvidia´s support - for roughly 15 days ago.. have´nt heard from them....

Vantage runs fine with them, and no this isn't on any one of my machines, I don't own a PPU. Several of my friends do, one has an nVidia card(s) and the other has ATi, both work perfectly fine.

So let me see if I can get this right (not particularily upto speed with PhysicsX, although I have GRAW2), if I download and use the new drivers, coupled with my G92 GTS I can get PhyX outta GRAW?
If thats the case, would I need to un-install the Ageia software that auto installs with the game?
