PhysX disabled its self..

Hi there, I've probably missed something really simple here but since updating driver's, PhysX has disabled it's self.

I tried ticking the box (lol), Any ideas folks?

Go into the Nvidia control panel and enable it there

I've been poking around in there mate (Been ati for yrs so its a bit new), The only physx related option I can find is 'select a physx processor' and its on auto, with the other 2 options being '580' and 'cpu'.

Other than that I cant see anything, Sorry to be a complete noob but could you direct me to where you mean..

cheers

Thats it there Auto is not enabling it per say, if you select your 580 then is should be enabled.

Try that

I tried that mate, Didn't change anything in GPU-Z even after a reboot.

In that case not sure ! could be the driver is too new for GPU-z to recognise the settings

That is probably the case.


Best way is test it with a game benchmark like the batman benchmark, turn on and turn off physx in the drivers and see if it makes a difference to the benchmarks. Also you could try downloading one of Nvidia's physx demos, if it runs as it should means it's working and GPU Z is just not talking correctly to the drivers. Also make sure to have this installed:-

NVIDIA PhysX System Software
Version:
9.10.0513
Release Date:
2010.08.11

Yeah probable that the driver is too new for GPU-z to recognise it - that PhysX box should be ticked even if you disable PhysX in the drivers as its just a marker as to if your GPU supports it or not, not if its enabled.

I'll download a nv physx demo and see how that works out, My physx driver is Version:
9.10.0514 and I'm on the 280.26 beta drivers so it probably is that.

thanks.
