As promised to those who sign NDAs, Nvidia has now released a bunch of software to show its PhysX power - the PhysX 8.08.01 driver, a few demos, games and packs that promote GPU in-game physics and, last but not least, the GeForce 177.83 driver. Bearing WHQL certification, the 177.83 is bundled with the PhysX 8.08.01 driver, features support for the GeForce 8, 9 and GTX 200 series cards and enables PhysX acceleration on all cards from the families mentioned that have at least 256 MB of onboard memory.

So why am I sooooo exited about this release you may be asking yourself? Well, I downloaded it just to see how it performs, and, incredibly, I can now run Crysis at 1920X1200 with Very High settings EXTREMELY SMOOTHLY!!!!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes!!!! All you Geforce 8 and up owners MUST DOWNLOAD NOW!!!!!

LMAO

On another note... seems Nvidia website via the normal download drivers will not give you the driver it comes from http://www.nvidia.com/content/forcewithin/us/download.asp (http://www.nvidia.com/content/forcewithin/us/download.asp) only so far.

Also there are some other free goodies on that site I put up, check it out (demos and even a full game)
