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 ...

Nvidia's 32-bit PhysX support isn't present on RTX 5000 series GPUs This will effect a number of older titles that utilize the physics API for enhanced visuals and particle effects It adds to the ...

Using the Nvidia Control Panel, you can offload PhysX computations to a separate GPU or CPU, which you never need to do. Around 20 years back, dedicated processors for computing physics ...

If you load up a 32-bit game now with PhysX enabled (or forced in a config file) and a 50-series Nvidia GPU installed, there's a good chance the physics work will be passed to the CPU instead of ...

Perhaps the most notable difference is a 170 fps jump between the RTX 3080 Ti + GT 1030 test and the RTX 3080 Ti with CPU-enabled PhysX in Mirror's Edge. 53.22 fps (down to 20-25 fps in PhysX ...

Despite that modern CPUs with powerful SIMD extensions can easily handle these sorts of physical simulations, NVIDIA's CPU-based implementation of its PhysX libraries is extremely unoptimized ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
