And here's a Guru3D thread with everything you need to know (including snotty comments from me about n00bs not reading the thread lol)

If you have a G92 based card, thats NOT 9800GTX / GTX+, you will need to modify the inf.

Here's a handy post on how to do it quickly:

Including a link to modified inf's for 177.35, so these must be changed to register as 177.39

So before any n00bs ask (apologies for caps)

THIS WILL NOT WORK unless you have a GT200 or G92 based gfx card

BTW, in 3D Mark Vantage my physics test went from 7.97 ops per second to around 109 ops per second!

Looks good, I can't wait to try this on my 8800GT. Hopefully it helps in real world gaming, but of course I doubt it. I guess any improvement is good though. So is this equal to having a real Ageia PhysX card? If so it would suck to be one of the people who bought a PPU.

Let's hope Tam doesn't read that.

Not just yet. Remember this is not for public release, basically a press release to show the direction they're taking.

(when I first heard about nvidia buying Ageia, and porting PhysX to work on GeForce, I lol'd lots at people buying PhysX cards - I put them in the same category as those who bought a "Killer NIC"!!)

from Tech Arp article:



My understanding was that the title did NOT need to support GPU physX, as nvidia's physX driver would take the PhysX calls, and port them through CUDA so they could be executed by the GPU.

In this regard, I believe Tech Arp to be incorrect in their statement, as this would mean PhysX PPU's would still be being made.

IMO this short coming is due to nvidia geforce driver immaturity, and nvidia physx driver immaturity

As did I.

The drivers work like a charm, glad to see this enabled finally!! Vantage score went up quite a bit too. I get P13,622, from P9101.

Yeah my vantage score jumped about 2k!!

Interesting stufff. Just out mty bed and getting ready for work. I shall read this tonight
when i get home!

**sigh**

From the VERY FIRST POST IN THIS THREAD:



You have a G80 based card.

I think I will pass until it becomes standard in a driver release. UT3 runs fine as is and benchmarks amuse me not.

FordGT90Concept said:

Its interesting to see in action though.

The PhysX test in 3DMark is incredible with GeForce PhysX

Dublin give n00bs a break eh?! See this's a common thing on HWA with n00bs.
Treated like dumb assed lepers. Does my head in. YOU were a n00b at one point!

Tam the Bam said:

But I learned how to read at an early age. I wouldnt mind, but I specifically put that section into the post because of all the n00bs over at Guru3D kept askin 'why does it not work'

Answer - "because you have an 8500GT dumbass. Read the damn thread." etc

Thanks for the info

I guess I'll wait. It won't install on my machine. I get a message saying that the executable is corrupt (DLd it from 3 different sources.)

just yanking your chain Dublin

where can I find a list of cards that use the g92/gt200? I do not even know what it is!! lol

GS059 said:

Thats pretty much it m8.

Sean - what card are you using? What error are you getting?
