Guest tjdfalcon Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 With modified drivers, will this work with mobile GPU's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Should work with any driver supporting CUDA 2 on any 8-series or later card with 256MB or more of dedicated GPU RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexdino Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 GeForce Power Pack. How will the power pack work? only with the 177.92 drive and latest physx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 All PhysX drivers should work with all video drivers supporting CUDA 2.0, if you have the other requirements. I recommend using the latest drivers, 177.98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yupsolo Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hello, I have installed the last version of PhysX drivers and the 177.92 nVidia Drivers (with modded inf), however the PhysX doesn't work... On the main page (info) of PhysX Proprieties software : "No NVIDIA PhysX installed"!!! On parameters page AGEIA PhysX isn't working and no GPU are available... Any Idea Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Did you make sure to use Driver Sweeper before you installed 177.92? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yupsolo Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Yes of course, sweep Nvidia display drivers, have to sweep nVidia chipset also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandertyler Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Guys I just picked up the Gateway P7811X FX notebook for a really good price. It has the Geforce 9800 GTS mobile GPU. Does PhysX work with it? On the settings page it is grayed out and I cannot select my graphics card. What am I doing wrong? I am using the latest official drivers 177.xx from Gateway and running Vista 64 bit. -- Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug2h Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) Official driver might be the problem just like Sager/Clevo have not put out a official driver that supports CUDA 2 which is needed for Phyx to work. Try the modded inf. Edited September 24, 2008 by Doug2h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are always out of date and do not include Physx. Download the latest 178.13 from Nvidia and use one of the modified INF's on the forum here.

alexandertyler Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) Thanks to everybody for the advice. I updated to newest drivers with modded inf and all is well now, thank you. -- Alex P.S. I started a thread for overclocking and the Geforce 9800 GTS over in the overclocking section for those who want to help out with this. It is also for people with Gateway P7811-FX laptops. BTW be sure to get the newest version of nTune which was released on 9/23/2008. Edited October 1, 2008 by alexandertyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest archaven Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 hi thr. i'm using 7900gs a very old card. i can install latest drivers by using the modded inf. latest drivers now support physx drivers. is it a neccessity i must install physx drivers even my graphics card does not support it? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 No. You only need to install the PhysX drivers and runtime if you want to run PhysX-enabled games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest archaven Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Thanks Michael for the reply. But even if i were to install the PhysX drivers and runtime for PhysX-enabled games, PhysX still wouldn't be enabled since my graphics card doesn't supports it right? In that case, installing it may be useless. Thank you very much for your kind reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew55 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Unless you have a PhysX enabled card or a PhysX card, then it would be useless as it would have no effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, installing it may be useless. Thank you very much for your kind reply. Just installing the PhysX Runtime on any computer allows for software PhysX, but GPU PhysX can only be done with a GeForce 8 or higher with 256MB or more of VRAM.

Guest Guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 can I disable the physx anytime i want after the istall? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yes, you may turn off hardware acceleration using the PhysX control panel. I do not see why you would ever want to do this, though. Unless you are actually using PhysX, it does not reduce the performance of the card, and even when rendering and using PhysX at the same time, it is most often still faster than using CPU physics.

danny_christ Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 HELP i physx doesnt find my geforce 8800m gtx????!!! i thought it supports physx! maybe i need the right nvidia driver??? HELP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Yes, some of the latest. Which one are you using now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 178.24 has them included as well, so they should install when you install the driver if your GPU supports PhysX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
