I've found i need to install 9.09.814 first and then 9.09.9, after that game, or Benchmark can't see the physx so i need to copy the files in this directory

C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common



and then it works.

hmmm, i need to try that cause ive installed these 9.09.9 ones, and Borderlands didnt indicate Physx.
when i revertet back to the old ones the physx indicator showed that physx is active in borderlands...

THX for the Tip..i will report back later....

greetz Beta


BTW....with the 9.09.814 there is no entry in programmx86\nvidia

its in C:\Program Files (x86)\AGEIA Technologies

so, am i missing something?

depends if you install from the DRIVER itself or from the Physx itself which you download from nvidia.

if its from the Nvidia ForceWare/Ion it then installs where you said in.

if it's the real Physx self downloaded file, it installs in the AGEIA folders.

i think as new as it goes it's better do like i said, copy the 3 files so it gives the best performance possible, using the newest files instead of the game in directory, for example Borderland uses CUDA, better than physx itself.

Slightly confused at this, as said, if you install the ones with the driver, it installs in the Ageia folder, and you have a PhysX entry in the Windows Control Panel, but with the 9.09.14 ones, its in the Nvidia folder, and the one in the windows control panel disappears.

Also not sure what you mean about Borderlands using Cuda instead of PhysX.
