Remember PhysX, the GPU-accelerated technology that let games realistically simulate destructible cloth, shattering glass, moving liquids, smoke, fog, and other particle effects? It only ever got ...

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 ...

Effectively, the 50 series cards cannot run any game with PhysX as developers originally intended. That’s ironic, considering Nvidia originally pushed this tech back in the early 2010s to sell ...

What follows is a brief primer on PhysX: what it was, what it did, and why it's left out of Nvidia's road map. These days, game engines like Unity can handle a lot of the physics thinking for ...

While PhysX is now mostly defunct and hasn't been implemented in new games for some time, many gamers were still disappointed to discover it had been discontinued without warning. Users on the ...

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 ...

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 ...

The once popular PhysX graphics technology by Nvidia is now out of support, leaving fans of the legacy games it powers saddened.

just to run a game with PhysX). It's worth noting that, if you want to run these games and get a better average fps on an RTX 5090, you can opt to turn off PhysX entirely, but PhysX is used for ...

Nvidia has quietly removed support for 32-bit PhysX hardware acceleration in its latest RTX 50 gaming GPUs, such as the Nvidia Geforce RTX 5090. This means games such as Mirror’s Edge ...

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 ...
