Well only game I think I have that uses it currently installed is Mass Effect (it does, others I ain't sure on), like GRID, Assassins Creed.

I said above I ain't gamed in weeks, not in mood somehow. :(

I ran Vantage as its easiest way to see with and without, the built in Demos are crap TBH.

Of course, just like it was when they released some when the 3800's came out, the 2900's came out, the......

:D

Heres a tip Nv owners, if you want to know when Nvidia's driver releases are, get in touch with ATi and ask them if you can have a look at their calendar. :D :D

According to that techreport article above, UT3 without PhysX gets 66.2 fps, with, it drops to 40.1fps, thats a 26.1fps drop.

They were using a Zotac 8800 GT AMP Edition as well.

"Eh, so if you want PhysX you got to take about a 30 frame hit, i thought everyone said there was gona be no hit using PhysX. "
You're not getting a drop. Your getting a boost from 11.4fps to 40fps.
There are 4 scores or should be but the website was lazy and missed the top score.

Heat Ray Map
No extra physics with GPU 66fps+
No extra phsyics CPU 66fps.

Heat Ray PhysX map
extra physics with GPU 40fps
extra phsyics with CPU 11.4fps.

The no extra physics map has no most of the destructible items taken out, no hail-storm that bombards the environment with hundreds of little ice lumps. No Explosions and plasma balls from the shock rifle sending hailstones and debris flying e.c.t

The website should have made it clear that the 66fps score is from a diffrent map with the same name. There are two maps, Heat Ray and Heat Ray PhysX.
