What I'm saying is it's really a throwback to the original way physics were done on the CPU when in that mode. The word "PhysX" being applied to physics on the CPU is really a misnomer on their part, and from what I've seen it doesn't work nearly as well as being done via a PhysX capable GPU (the video you linked to verifies it). In fact comparisons only show they optimized it to run far better on a GPU than CPU.
It's kinda redundant they even offer such a feature. I think the only reason they did is to try and appease those whom are upset they can't see PhysX without adding a separate Nvidia card dedicated to it, or buying a PhysX capable high end card, and it's a half ass attempt at best. PhysX may go through CUDA cores, but it's still just enhanced physics. The only thing that really ever made it "PhysX" was doing it through a PhysX card, then through the GPU when Nvidia took it over.
