    Doesn't work here, I think that nvidia will have to release an updated PhysX driver in order to enable PhysX processing on other CUDA-enabled cards.

    cuz they came up trusted, while still quite bad.
    These aren't on guru yet are they. I'll wait... maybe. Still haven't seen a good driver come from xf yet. Just random betas that probably shouldn't have been leaked in the first place.
    PS. making people aware that xf is a site that came out of no where and started posting drivers on forums as advertisement isn't a bad thing.

    Just tried quite a long run on Crysis, the first driver to enable me to use 1680 x 1050 (Medium Details) at a decent FPS, the only parts where FPS dives are cutscenes which I can live with anyway.

    I installed these...the "show only programs found on this computer" feature now works and detects games. This found in the nv control panel under program settings for those wondering what im talking about.

    Nothing other than that to post back about yet..playing some cod4 in a bit.

    Nor XP 32.

    I suppose a different PhysX driver is needed?

    physx isnt working for me...if you are basing physx working because you can gpu fold you are meaning cuda is working for you. That is what the gpu folding client uses.

    Try running a physx demo from the control panel app.
