Guest Guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 To use Physx You must install this driver and the Ageia Physx driver minimum ver. 8.06.12. but if it on other GPU then the 9800+ and the GT200.....I hope it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inovalley Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 8.06.12 drivers are installed, but i can't activate physix...i wait the next version of these drivers who will activate physx on geforce 8.9.10 !! excuse for my english because i'm french...

Cubbi Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Ok then i think nVidia Enabled this feature (at this moment) only on the GT200 and G92b series. So we have to wait. And you English is ok i can understand you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mystery_Man Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I'm still having trouble with these drivers, they keep saying "these are not for Vista". I'm on Vistax64, I've looked at the inf's that do intstall and I don't know what I'm missing. I'm not daft I've been dealing with PCs for over 10 years I know how to "force" an install but it still says not for vista, any ideas? Oh, Iv'e got the 8800M, or in the inf it's NVIDIA_G92.DEV_0609.1, Iv'e tried the changing the comma to an underscore, to still no avail. the only drivers on this website that worked were the crazy 40 inf packaged ones, and the 175.70, any others give the "Not for Vista" error. :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taltamir Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) As far as I can tell physX is enabled and working on my 8800GTS 512 (G92) with Vista64 and driver 177.35 (not .39) and the 8-6-12 physX framework.

You should be able to install these drivers by forcing Vista 64 to install them as 8800M GTX. Both these chips use the same group of settings in the drivers and the same libraries thus you will not have any problems caused by doing so.

Guest Mystery_Man Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Tried that still same error. "Windows found driver, but windows is dumb and will not install because windows does not think it's for vista" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mystery_Man Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Ok, I downloaded the modded inf for the 177.35, copied a few of the lines in the inf to the 177.39 inf and it installed!! ok, now I've got the new PHYSX driver installed, but the tests are greyed out, how do I get them working on the 8800, I know it can be done. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prasad007 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 So would this work on a 8800M GTX or not ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DR Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Also, what do you think, G92M (8800M GTS and GTX) supports Physx too, like the G92 cards do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I just tried the 177.39 but I'm having really strange issues with my CPU (T7700) now. It seems to be using 1 only core since I installed the drivers - most noteable my 3dmark cpu score dropped from around 2100 to only 900! Completely weird I know, I already uninstalled the Ageia PhysX stuff, but it didn't help. Tried some games (UT3 and CoD4) and they run as before or even a little faster, but I'm not sure if they even support multiple cores and thus this issue doesn't have any effect on them. Anyone else experiencing the same`? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shakey_Jake33 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Just tried these drivers, downclock on battery. Back to 174.16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taltamir Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 To all those failing to get physX working with 8800GTS 512 on this... try 177.35. I have it working with 177.35 driver (from this forum) + 8.6.12 physX driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 the modded inf dont work for my on my 8800 gts. i have installed the driver and the device manager told me that it is the new one but i cannot select the physx. grey out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bennyb0y Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 taltamir is that a desktop card or 8800M GTS mobile variety? I'm guessing desktop because I can't get PhysX to work on any driver version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeremy Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 How do you force an install of a driver for a different device (e.g. 8800 GTS to 8800 GTX). I have the Gateway P-6860. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scyphe Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I've got the 177.35's installed together with the 8.06 physx drivers. GPU PhysX isn't enabled and there's no way to turn it on. I've got a Geforce 8800GT (G92) running Vista 64. Installed Cell Factor Revolution and can't turn on PhysX in the game. It just doesn't work. I guess the drivers are bound to hardware ID's (which would single out the 9800's from the 8800-brethrens). :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Scyphe, it should work. I've also got 8800GT and Vista 64. After installation 177.35 and 8.06.12 physx drivers it works well. Tested in UT3 and 3DMark Vantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scyphe Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 What does the first screen in the PhysX properties look like? Mine said "No PhysX hardware detected" or similar. When I tried enabling PhysX hardware in Cell Factor: Revolution, it was still not enabled after it restarted to activate. If no hardware is present (or in this case, not supported) PhysX will be run in Software Mode instead of Hardware Mode. A few extra FPS' doesn't automatically mean it's working, that could be optimizations in the 177 drivers. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scyphe Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 What the..... it DOES work, in 3DMark Vantage. Here's the comparison between the test I just did with the fastest vantage score to date (my system to the left, fastest on the right): 3DMark Score: P6172 3DMarks P23601 3DMarks CPU Score: 29825 24044 GFX Score: 4881 23457 Jane Nash: 15.82 FPS 67.96 FPS New Calico: 12.73 FPS 69.48 FPS AI test (cpu): 985.71 Operations/s 2974.6 Operations/s PhysX test: 118.41 Operations/s 40.72 Operations/s My hardware: Intel E8200 Wolfdale (dual core) @ 3.6Ghz, 4GB OCZ Reaper PC6400 DDR2 RAM, Asus 8800GT 512mb (single card) Forceware 177.41 vista 64 + nvidia physx 8.06.12 Fastest vantage test ever: QX9650@5460MHz@-100°C LN2 cooled by Otterauge Mushkin DDR3@7-6-6-16@1820 XFX 790SLI motherboard 2XBFG 9800GX2@1000-1120 cooled by Otterauge The other guy have a supercooled superclocked quadcore extreme 9650 and supercooled superclocked DUAL 9800GX2's AND an Ageia PhysX 100 PCI Yet my modest system beat his system in the Physics test with a lot more than twice the score. When the test ran I was very surprised as I saw a whole swarm of planes crashing around, very different from earlier tests with normal drivers (2-3 slow motion planes bumping into stuff).
