NVIDIA will introduce a new set of GeForce drivers, PhysX driver and a PhysX pack. All GeForce series 8 and newer cards will get full PhysX support with a little help of the guys from Ageia and NVIDIA's CUDA team. We take a peek at what is released next week, what can you expect, what combo's are possible and obviously our opinion on the entire PhysX experience.

enough said. Im using it now with 257.xx works flawless on a phsyic demo and transfer rate is close to 300mb a sec. thanks gl,

I wont buy that until my drives die,,, all of them have a seizure or acoma lol

Ok this is an epic post. I am marking it so I can post it in the "the most retarded threads in AT history" thread that will inevitably show up in OT some day.

He's a real guy, he just doesn't vibe with the English language very well. He seems like a young kid, but he's not, it's a language barrier, being Armenian and all.
Still not sure why anyone would post old news.
I'm still waiting for him to start spamming his website...

Nvidia's beta drivers for Physx have given his drives close to 300MB/second data transfer rate during a demo. But he won't buy until his his current drives die. Or are in a coma. Or have a seizure. Thanks. Good luck.

Yes, sorry people, I just type fast and theres sometimes mistakes bound to happen.

and yes Soundmanred thanks for defending me. Yes I am armenian livin in Glendale, CA

My goal in life isnt to troll.

Also FYI Im 32 years of age. Sorry once again to anyone that got offended from the thread post. It was news to me, maybe yall saw it, I apologize for that. Phsyic is brand new option in nVidia driver I stated. Who wouldn't want that.

and soundmanred your a mature good guy on this and there are people that got the new drivers and didnt know about that option for example. Anyhow thanks for peeps who appreciate that last thread. thx

well that was certainly your most coherent comment so far but physx has been in the drivers for probably a couple of years or more.

I heard that 3DFX is gonna introduce FSAA to get rid of jaggies. Sounds cool, might have to look into it.

I heard that they are coming out with something called a "3D Accelerator" which is going to be, or so they say, able to render 3D objects more quickly and efficiently! Amazing.

Yup, Pre-ordered my Virge DX already. Can't wait, excitement building! I know a guy on the inside who got one on the sly. They are passively cooled and I heard get pretty warm, so I'm going to cross fire a couple case fans.

Based on his recent posts, I'm preeetty sure Tweakboy is referring to the new options for physx in the new 256.xx drivers. It's nothing special really, but it is different than current 197.xx drivers.

Can I ask, what games use Pshyic . thx
only a few such as Dark Void, Batman and Mirrors Edge have optional hardware level physx available in the game settings. the vast majority of games that use physx use low level effects that even the console versions get. not to sound mean but for someone on a forum such as this you seem to always be out of the loop.

Wow, everyone is missing the fact that he is no talking about PhysX, he is talking about Physic. I've personally never heard of Physic but if it's an evolution of PhysX, it should be something good. Got any links?

the very fact that someone is in this forum means they are at least paying a little attention to video cards. tweakboy has a history of making ridiculous posts and saying bizarre things. if he is interested in physx then surely he has the capacity to do a little research on his own. physx is something Nvidia pushes and its hardly a secret which big games utilize it. I really dont think people have been all that mean about it.
