Hey guys, when I try to play Mafia II on my intel HD graphics, it says to install PhysX. I thought Nvidia PhysX only works on Nvidia hardware. Do I need to install PhysX to play Mafia II even though I run Intel graphics?

Yes. PhysX is an API that runs on the CPU first and formost. Only a handful of games support running PhysX on the GPU.

the minimum gpu to play Mafia 2 is an 8600gt so how do you expect to play it on Intel integrated graphics?
