The PhysX processor is used in many games to calculate complex physics simulations, like wind effects on clothes, glass shattering, realistic smoke effects, and more. Since the 32-bit PhysX ...

Of course, turning off PhysX entirely raised frame rates above even native GPU support levels. Commenters on Reddit and ResetEra note that many of the games listed had performance issues with ...

Click to expand... PhysX games often had a setting to let you choose your PhysX processor, which for most people would be set to the same NVIDIA GPU handling the game's graphics. I didn't see ...

The system has been stealthily retired for the new RTX 50-series cards, leaving some old but beloved games in an awkward position. For the uninitiated, PhysX is a system that adds physics effects ...

They claim their RTX 4090 never dipped below 120fps in the same game. I won’t terribly miss PhysX, because modern games have plenty of other ways to do physics built into their various engines ...

Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, and 5070 Ti are some of the most in-demand GPUs today, but if you think they’ll help you play your Steam account’s back catalog at blistering FPS, you may be ...

In addition, we've gathered some interesting benchmarks, courtesy of VerbalSilence on YouTube and the same Reddit user, where the GTX 980 Ti handily outperforms the RTX 5090 in 32-bit PhysX games.

It's also worth noting that modern games are effectively no longer using PhysX, which means only older titles (those more than five years old) will see worse performance on RTX 5000 series GPUs ...

Now, in order to run some games better, gamers are taking to installing secondary graphics cards to get a healthy fps boost (and in one case, just to run a game with PhysX). It's worth noting that ...

One of the controversies surrounding the ongoing launch of the GeForce RTX 50 series concerns the fact that it has dropped hardware acceleration for PhysX effects in 32-bit games. This affects the ...

Removing PhysX support means that some games from the 2000s and early 2010s will lose part of the way they implement particle and clothing effects. This will hit titles like Mirror's Edge ...

TL;DR: NVIDIA's RTX 50 series no longer supports 32-bit CUDA applications, affecting older games like Batman: Arkham Asylum and Borderlands 2, which now run PhysX calculations on the CPU ...
