I have the older Ageia PhysX card however when I installed the latest Nvidia drivers and such all went well (and the card happily does the PhysX work on Mirrors Edge) but I didn't get all the PhysX demo apps. There's also apparently a PhysX screensaver.
Was this stuff additional downloads or something? Short of a few PhysX ready games I really want to show off the card.
EDIT: Dumb? What the hell is so dumb?
Uh yeah they are on ageias site but since nvidia bough ageia they kinda stopped updating the card
The latest PhysX drivers still seem to work with the card so it' has not bee completely forgotten.
Still, It would be nice to find the demo apps for archive purposes at the least.
You are not really using the Ageia card as you think you are. Do what I did:
Download this driver before installing any latest one: [url]http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx_8.09.04_whql.htm[/url]
This is why:
[Quote=Nvidia Site]Runtime upgrade ONLY for AGEIA PhysX processors users. (New installations of AGEIA PhysX processors should install older PhysX system software such as version 8.09.04 – prior to installing this update).[/Quote]
This driver "activates" the card on your computer, the latest drivers don't since they dropped support for the card. After that you can install the latest PhysX drivers.

I'm assuming that is a hardware requirement. I run an ATI card but use the Ageia card to add PhysX support.
Slightly off topic, but did that patch to allow PhysX on ATI cards ever get released?

The demos probably still work, I'll bet the "8-series or later" just means "card with PhysX support" for all practical purposes.
OP, are you sure the PhysX you're using aren't comming from your Nvidia card?

Read sir.

Okay, I ran what I could and so far only two seem to be working with the PhysX card. The rest assume you own a Nvidia card and either fail to run or promptly crash.
Bummer, I guess I should of grabbed the old tech demos when the Ageia site was still around.
Just why are you so interested in having a PhysX based PC?

Or, it could be, you know, a nice thing to have.

fyi, archive.org
That doesn't make sense.

His PC can only play Half Life 1. I doubt he will be running anything PhysX based, let alone Mirrors Edge.

That was my old box you fool. The new one I'm on is far better.
Also, considering I got this card for $20, why not? I got a free PCI slot that will never see use and why not add one additional and barely used gimmick to my gaming life?
[QUOTE=pentium;16745578]why not?[/QUOTE]
because that $20 could have gone to starving children in africa

They can be left for the Vultures. now I have a shiny PhysX badge on my case.

No, it's right.
