GTX 960 no PhysX

Zanga · Feb 6, 2015

Hi, just got a new GTX960 to replace my very old HD4850. For now i'm running it on ancient hardware comprised of a Q6600 and an Asus P5K Pro motherboard (PCIE v1.1). During some info collecting and tests i have stumbled upon the lack of PhysX support in GPU-Z. Any idea why this may be happening ? By the way i'm running latest Forceware (347.25) / GPU-Z.

Very weird. It's been my experience the box is blank only when you choose the option to have the CPU handle the Phys-X.

I have also tried to set it to GTX960 (manual), Auto and CPU, restart PC each time, there was no change.

There have been issues with GPU-Z detecting PhysX in the past. I'd re-download the latest drivers, and re-install them using the Custom option and make sure PhysX is check. Also make sure the driver is detecting a previous version of PhysX as being installed.

Well it gets even weirder. I just downloaded the same Forceware 347.25 from the UK / nVidia website, first time it was from the US / nVidia website. During re-installation i have found out that although the driver version is the same, the PhysX driver version differs. Now GPU-Z detects it properly. I must also specify that the first Forceware was a clean / custom / full installation.

whats the preferred power box for the gtx 960 ?

The latest driver is actually 353.06. Install that selecting the clean install option and see if it works.

Also ensure that Windows has all the latest updates installed.

Duh! I was at work and on my phone in a hurry. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

I see it's a bit of a necro thread, so I wonder if the OP fixed the problem?
