Forceware v177.83 + GeForce 8+ = PhysX
http://www.nvidia.com/content/forcew...s/download.asp
I've tried Nurien, Warmonger, F@H with success. The Fluid demo merely fails as soon as I click it, oh well. There are a few more substantial tech demos available. It's a very complete package and I'm still enjoying the novelty. I also have GRAW2 v1.05 (the patch version required) so I'll give that a shot as well, oddly that link doesn't offer GRAW2 v1.05 as a download when all documentation says it does, perhaps since I had installed it already? How does it run? Folding at Home ran blisteringly fast (OPT185@3G) but my 8800GTS G92 made a high pitched squeal it never did before so I put a stop to that experiment quickly, I'd rather get protein-foldiosis than troubleshoot that. Warmonger ran great single player, I'm not going to install Gamespy and net 1.1 for multiplayer. Lots of crap floating in the air, fireflies and soot. Lots of stiff, unrealistic flags flittering around which you can shoot through but not light on fire. You can destroy some walls too with effort, a nice touch. Nurien was cute, but the textures were so ratty and the resolution so low and the antialiasing so ugly I couldn't see what the appeal is? What am I looking at again? Maybe if I could adjust the settings...none to adjust! The Nalu demo on the 6800GT had more fluid motion and more sheer fabric and more atmosphere and all at higher frame rates. I averaged 29, min 19, max 40 on Nurien. |

I am running Aegia Island in the background as I type this. 177.83 (G92GTS) PhysX 2.8.1 + 2.8.0 and a bunch of v2.7.X's. GRAW2 is v1.05 and PhysX is set to Extreme and runs well enough. Shyte and debris everywhere but the explosions are wonderfully over the top. I can't get the fluid demo to work, but GRAW2 runs fine, check your PhysX versions on disk, I have two dozen shrug. |

I think they're doing Physx dll's similar to DirectX, each version is specifically linked by the application, so you end up having everything since the original Ageia drivers and some kind of wrapper on top. I've read on NVNews that the 8800GT is specifically having problems though with GRAW2. I wouldn't doubt it from this. |

That's too bad, I'm surprised how well the G92 8800GTS runs PhysX, I was fully expecting to drop a resolution or an FSAA level to keep frame rates up but there is no need...I'm right at the performance borderline...any slower and I'd notice it, any faster and I wouldn't. I guess this means if someone wanted a second video card just to handle PhysX, you might not gain any usable FPS performance. As some configurations and games don't lose any FPS with PhysX on. Can you get Warmonger to work? I'm enjoying finding things to demolish, building parts, flags...yet the stuff doesn't persist...everything has a built in fade, sigh. |

Warmonger works ok, but it's boring as hell. The debris are standard UE3 tech and have no persistence unless 'actors' are spawned by them. |

At least no persistence solves the "how the hell do I transmit all this game-state information to all the other players on the server over my crappy broadband connection" problem. |
