Hello everybody,

I need little help. I have an Asus PhysX P1 card and don’t know if it has any use at all.

Ageia gives no longer any support because Nvidia has take over the company.

Is there a possibility that Nvidia is making drivers for just this type of card?

All the help is welcome!

Gr. BlackHat

Simply download and install the latest PhysX drivers from nvidia's site. Since v8.06 they add support for PhysX on GeForce, but they're good for your P100 card too.

shouldn't....NVIDIA is pretty good about that...people have been running Nforce chipsets with ATI cards for years.

Numerous games already install PhysX drivers, whatever your graphics card and mobo are. ;)
Now that PhysX is nvidia stuff, you download PhysX drivers from them, that's all. Support for P100 cards should remain the same for at least a couple years. Having a little green in your red config won't hurt, don't worry :lol:

The new Physx software/driver from Nvidia is working. And it looks like the FPS is better within UT3 and mod. But it is just my feeling, i dont have tested it out. Maybe i will be... First i have to install my new HD4870

Can you try and download the PhysX demos ? (Great Kulu, Fluid demo...)
Chances are they won't work with no nvidia graphics card, but I wonder. Maybe the up-to-date PhysX drivers and a P100 card are enough ?

Nurien is a good PhysX demo do try out. It'll give you min/max/avg fps at the end.
