Nvidia GTX280/260 and 9800GTX/+ 177.39 Beta Driver with PhysX-Support

What kind of CPU score is that if it uses the GPU? I don't get it.

the physx tests are done with the cpu or with physx support hardware.

Once you add hardware to increase physx performance, cpu scores raise

btw, Stelios check your PM box

I never knew that. But now that I do that actually makes sense.

it's all done through GFX card

9800GTX+ will have the same PhysX capability

yap, you are right, first cpu test tests AI, second cpu test tests physics, so CPU test2 is all done by GPU

I've got a feeling that it's the physX driver that needs to be modded. Anyway 177.39 are good drivers in their own right!

Downloadin Vista32 now...hope it works

can someone quickly test 3DMARK2001 > CH

Vista32 working

[eleeter]

How about some actual game tests?

be back soon

That completely OWNS for a single GPU.

Looks like for this generation Nvidia is actually going to beat AMD at 3dmark.

Now I want to see TRI-SLI.

Also it seems there are still BIG performance increases coming to 200 series with new driver improvements, it will be exciting to see how much better these cards get over the next 2 months or so.

are you saying you have physx running on that card w00t

i installed physx drivers and it shows the same for my 8800GT with 177.35

now do some benches to see how it stands

[takamishanoku]

Yeah i would love to know how it works with games. Is there that much bottleneck with the cpu, that the graphics are pushed out so quick that physics are computed in it's 'spare' time? Judging by the fps shown on the first page (for UT3) it seems like it.

BTW if those benches are true they DEMOLISH the 4850. It's astonishing.

run Vantage before and after

actually just run Vantage and we'll know if it's working heheh

First time Vantage ever hehehe...what do you think?



I think it's not working

EDIT: It's working?

BTW, Q6600@3600Mhz DDR2 1000@5-5-4-12 PL7 etc..

=] it deff works here but it seems to pause a bit during the physics test so mayb new drivers will fix that i also ran the test @ 1680 x 1050

[takamishanoku]

Nope it's working Now i just want my g80 to work!!

It's even better with a second card. On a single card, partitioning the workload to do some physics = lower graphics framerate.

But yes, GPU physics can be just that much faster than even physics on a quad core

You've heard of "CPU-bound", you've heard of "GPU-bound", but now you'll hear about "Physics-bound"

[Charles Wirth]

Very nice driver, nice increase in scores. Everyone will have to rerun Vantage.

Give me 64bit vista version

The version 177.39 is corrupt.
