[Schoieuk]

[Schoieuk]

Are there any up coming major games thhat i migtht benefit from a phyx card?

I grabbed a new 9600 GSO (96 shaders) for £30 from bay. Worked well as a PhysX card until I realised I don't need this **** in my life

BTW, people who spend more than £50 just to experience some unrealistic PhysX effects on their PCs are n00bs.

hehe ok mabey ill forget it.

Quick help needed

Ok, so once you have done all the steps in safe mode etc.

Where is the Nvidia control panel you talk of?

if it is part of the driver system nvidia use such as CCC then how do you get the 8800gt drivers to work with win7?

Not an nvidia user here.

Thanks, can any one get me a dl link for ContainForum's Fix 1.0.1 that i need i cannot find it >.<

And how do i enable PhysX in the Nvidia control panel?

And thos applets you have showing temps, where did you get them?

 

[Schoieuk]

So to get this to work you must.

1. Install driver for your PhysX card.
2. DL the Genl mod and apply it in safe mode and restart.
3. Dl and apply the ContainForums fix 1.0.1 and restart.
4. Dl and apply the Containforums fix 1.0.2 and restart.
5. Open your Nvidia Control panel and enable PhyX.

A. So my question is... How do i apply the GenL mod? i have restarted in safe mode and its not very straight forwards, the GenL mod comes up with an application that has three options:

1. Burn
2. Cake
3. Info

So which am i meant to click and what am i meant to do here?

B. How do i apply the ContainForums Fix 1.0.1 and 1.0.2?

C. How do i enable the PhysX in the Nvidia control panel?

Thanks for your feedback.

 

[Schoieuk]

Thanks for you input guys. I have just done all the steps said at the start and on the final step (when i enable physx i cannot do it as the option isnt there...... check picture:

I am using an 8800GT and Win 7 (5870's in Xfire)

And now i am hating nvidia drivers allready -.-

 

[Schoieuk]

*****FIXED****

Not sure why but i undd everything i had done and re did it, and it has worked.

Thansk for the fast responses though guys :>

problem solved PhysX is working.

I am getting about 160 fps constant with a dip from about 600 fps at the start. Pretty good i think :>

Anything else that i can do to make sure my 8800 is doing its job?

You'll find Metro 2033 isn't working. The reason for this is because a random guy on the internet has just took some old files, changed their filenames and whacked them in an exe file that simply overwrites your shiny new correct files with the old ones.
So yeah I'm right. Don't think I haven't tested it as I have.

/care about 2033 its awful.

lol at this argument :>
