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

Today, NVIDIA officially launched GPU acceleration for PhysX when they released the PhysX driver version 8.06.12 which enables PhysX acceleration for the following cards :
GeForce GTX 280
GeForce GTX 260
GeForce 9800 GTX+
GeForce 9800 GTX

You will need to install the latest 177.39 ForceWare driver in addition to the PhysX driver. At this moment, PhysX support has only been enabled for those four GPUs. NVIDIA will progressively enable PhysX support in the other GeForce 9 and GeForce 8 graphics over the next few weeks.

These drivers need a modded inf right?

If you don't own a GeForce GTX 280 /260 or GeForce 9800 GTX/+ yes.

Yes.

Ok, I'll see if can manage to make them work with my hardware, I'll run Vantage Performance tests with current 177.35 WHQL and after with these and see the performance increase.

Thank you very much for posting

EDIT: do you have any other links for Vista x64? i'm only @ 30kbps

[Stelios]

Very nice !!! I'm gonna try them with all 3dmarks right now (with my brand new gtx280) .

[lowfat]

If a modded inf will get PhysX working on an 8800GT, I will be impressed.

Light up a candle for me, will ya?

OMG 15kb/s

1hour and 15mins ETA...

[spicypixel]

Considering the difference between the 9800GTX and the 8800GTS 512 this is a poor show considering they arent in the same driver set

[vengance_01]

that would be cool if they supported all G92 cores.

[fornowagain]

Any rehosts, these links are terrible.

[ceevee]

Sweet! Should be very nice on 280GTX

[Luka_Aveiro]

My installer is corrupt X_X

[Swatrecon_]

what the hell? doesn't a quad core rape a physx card at pretty much anything? I remember watching a vid of the UE3 running the "tornado" with both and the quad core test was way better.

from what i have read they will be enabling support on the rest of the 98XX's and 8800's with new drivers releases in the coming weeks. this is really good news. i get all of the bonuses of PhysX without an add in card AND now that millions more people can use it that means more games will support it. man Nvidia is really pressing on with using the GPU for things other than gaming. it's good to see.

[Anemone]

Since I'm usually at high res and using up all the fps a card can give, I'm kind of concerned that spending gpu cycles doing physics is going to hurt my fps

[Luka_Aveiro]

meh, i think this isn't worthy, a guy already downloaded them, mirrored and he said original file was corrupt (at least for vista x64)

Has anyone managed yet do download and install these? smells like a fake to me

I mean, 10kbs and ETA 1:31 is a PITA...

[fornowagain]

Could be I guess, don't think they're fake though. They're on the sites news page.

Driver works perfectly !!!

1st pic is with 177.39 and 2nd with 177.35 .

Cpu test 2 gets an incredible boost ! You can see a whole mess of crashed planes ! Runs very fast !!!

[takamishanoku]

Damn. Downloading now.... I'll try out gears of war and see if there is a difference on a 8800GTX.
This is incredible if true (the UT3 engine increase)

40000 CPU SCORE????

What operating system are you using, btw? You could have done stock clocks GTX280

I couldn't even extract the driver files, the original file was corrupt, so I apologize for suspecting this was fake.

I am using windows vista x64

I have installed Vista 32bit Ultimate . I wanted to match the clocks of the card with my previous run.
Faster is better !

I noticed that

Damn it, the damn vistax64 exe file is corrupt, I am

Anyway, the performance between a single 8800GT and a GTX280 is HUGE.

My 8800GT stock clocks (600/1500/1800) P scores are: P5413, GPU4848 CPU 8324 (cpu score a bit higher than yours, see sig )

Bad luck vista 64 installer is corrupt, I will love to see my score increase

Thanks for the tests man

[takamishanoku]

Seems like an modd inf won't work (guru3d). The waiting game sux
