Nvidia’s New Rtx 50-series Gpu Driver Restores Physx Support For Popular Games

Nvidia launched its first RTX 50-series graphics cards earlier this twelvemonth without support for PhysX, nan GPU-accelerated exertion that fto games realistically simulate shattering glass, moving liquids, smoke, fog, and more. Now, Nvidia is bringing backmost PhysX support for nan RTX 50-series GPUs for top-played games for illustration Borderlands 2, Mirror’s Edge, and Batman: Arkham City.

“We heard nan feedback from nan community, and pinch nan motorboat of our caller driver today, we are adding civilization support for GeForce gamers’ astir played PhysX-accelerated games, enabling afloat capacity connected GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, successful statement pinch our existing PhysX support connected prior-generation GPUs,” says Nvidia.

PhysX was a large portion of games for illustration Borderlands 2 and Mirror’s Edge, and it primitively didn’t vessel pinch Nvidia’s latest GPUs because nan RTX 50-series dropped support for 32-bit CUDA support. That prevented these older games utilizing PhysX from being GPU-accelerated connected nan latest Nvidia GPUs. Some titles for illustration Borderlands 2 dropped beneath 60fps, because nan games were relying connected a CPU to present PhysX effects.

Nvidia has now created “custom support” for top-played PhysX-accelerated games, but not each games are supported yet. Here’s nan existent list:

Alice: Madness Returns
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
Batman: Arkham City
Batman: Arkham Origins
Borderlands 2
Mafia II
Metro 2033
Metro: Last Light
Mirror’s Edge

Nvidia says it’s besides readying to support Batman: Arkham Asylum “in nan first portion of 2026,” but there’s nary connection connected immoderate further games. PhysX was ever constricted to a fistful of titles anyway, but Resetera forum members person been search much than 40 games that person been affected by nan removal of PhysX support connected RTX 50-series GPUs. Unfortunately, it seems improbable that Nvidia will afloat support each of these older PhysX games.
