support PhysicsX and/or Havok?

[Solrac]

Please Urufu_Shinjiro!
I have the 175.80 driver.
Can you give us some more specific information how to do that? ( PhysicsX with a 8800GTS)
I would really be very thankful.

Regards.

I think it is transparent to the user on the graphics card end. As far as I know only a few games us it.

Ok, you need one of the latest beta drivers, I'm using 177.41. These will work just fine for the G92 cards and up but need a modded .inf file to install on the G92 8800's. Once you have that driver installed then install the physx software from the nvidia site. You should then be able to open the physx control panel and select GeForce for physx.

I though ATI went with Intel and HAVOQ.... No?

That's what I heared, yes. At least the new 4xxx-cards are being released with full HAVOK-Support.

Be advised, that this driver-modification does NOT work with G80 GPUs. Not all 8800-series cards do have the newer G92-chipset, but you will need that in order to have the PhysX-support. Without that, you run in danger of destroying your current drivers and settings!

Got all now!

Thank you Urufu_Shinjiro! Thx all!

OK just read something on Tom's hardware... stating that a guy is working on a way to run CUDA on ATI cards... It says that he actually is getting NVIDIA support to do so...

Here is the link:

Yeah, nvidia is not being stingy with CUDA or Physx and have stated that ATI is fully welcome to use it (CUDA carries a license fee though). ATI just chose to go another direction.

Attention to this!!!

12th of August NVIDIA will release new graphic drivers with Physx driver integrated for all GPUs CUDA ready (G92 and later).
