Finally us G80 peeps will get to play with PhysX!

 

[dragunover]

Yay! Physics! I love them.

There may be some complaints about about this. But for me, I'm happy/suprised this works at all.
Now if M$ can finish Direct Physics to work with ANY DX10+ GPU.....

Also benchmarks please for how this works on old PhysX games and new titles designed to use "normal" GPUs.

 

[Niva]

Yeah, I'm curious too what the benchmarks will show with and w/o the pysx.

I'm pretty impressed with this, not even something NV had to do. Hopefully it will increase the lifespan of my GTS 640s!

Which exact cards are supported?

 

[vagetaqtd]

Nevermind, found it:

GeForce GTX 280 GPUs
GeForce GTX 260 GPUs
GeForce 9800 GTX GPUs
AGEIA PhysX Processor (All)

As far as I know all CUDA enabled GPUs will support this.

Just 12 (or less) hours to go!

 

[iveoles]

It's now the 6th, still waiting for these drivers...

 

[Lord Gornak]

Um, yeah, seriously. I'm hoping it didn't get pushed back to September for their "Big Bang II" for Forceware 180.

 

[iveoles]

Well I guess these have been pushed back then...

Who confirmed that these were being released?

 

[Lord Gornak]

Pushed back to the 12th, tomorrow. Hopefully...
