Re: New PhysX driver for Nvidia
It's only really relevant to programs that utilise PhysX which at the moment isn't a lot. You can find a list here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhysX
Although to be honest it doesn't tell the whole story. Many developers used PhysX for minor things such as the positioning of solid objects on maps and not for actual physics simulation (in the case of Pirates of the Burning Sea for example), in fact off the top of my head only a few of those listed games will actually benefit from the addition of either a dedicated PhysX card or an 8 series Nvidia CUDA compatible card running the latest drivers.
