it's 8/12, Nvidia releases Physx pack w/ free game D/L

alright guys, Nvidia officially releases the Physx pack support for the 8 series w/ warmonger to D/L

head on over for more info:
www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-enables-physx-and-cuda-support-for-geforce-8-and-higher-g/

at work ATM so can't test out the official release. get to work guys and see if there's a difference to what we've downloaded before this release.

 

i have it installed, going to try UT3

 

Hu, I edited a post asking about it in my thread but my 7811 is giving me a "The Nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit" error. Any ideas why that's going on?

 

if u were trying to install physx before the official release, that could possibly be the problem... Nvidia officially released the new pack today, so ur install pack could be different from todays new pack (sorry not on lappy atm). I would suggest downloading the official install pack to see if there's a difference between the 2 or wait til nars provides us with an update.

if u changed video drivers recently, reinstall ur factory driver and install the official physx pack and see if it works.

 

you just need a modded INF, I dont know where there is one atm, you will have to wait a day or two until Laptop2govideo has theirs up. Mobile gpu's were neevr really supported from Nvidia, thats why the drivers dont work, the INF makes it compatible with mobile hardware.

 

hu, i uninstalled the original drivers and now it doesnt want to update anything at all. Just says standard vga and when I try to auto update it wont find anything and when I try to install nvidia drivers it fails.

 

did you create a back up driver disc when u first purchased the laptop? that is always the first thing to do with the GW FX series and GW tells u to do that and provides the program to do so.

if not rollback ur driver... if that fails, head to gateway.com website for drivers for the 7811 series (if they have support for it already)

 

lol, I uninstalled my drivers, forgot about the INF file so the new drivers won't install.... then I go to laptopvideo2go and they are offline right now

Can't be that hard to modify the .INF files....

 

Does the The Great Kulu: Technology Demo work for 8800m GTS? "Minimum Recommended Graphics: GeForce GTX 260" Sorry, am confused about the wording.

 

Apparently with that demo you can only enable hardware PhysX on the GTX 260 or 280. With any other GPU it will only allow CPU PhysX.

Edit: I'm looking into trying to copy over an old .INF file where needed, got a program to compare text files... unsuccessful so far

 

LaptopVideo2go.com is back up, thank god!

hi! I installed this software and didn't felt a difference do you felt something, and in the pysx properties it a peers something like me no nvidia physx processor installed??

 

can any1 make a guide or something for us noobies?hehehe...really xcited to try this out.

another thing, would a game need to be "physx" enabled to be able to enjoy this update?

 

Of course.... if it doesn't have PhysX then it won't do ANYTHING... which is funny because people keep talking about differences they see in CoD4.... with no PhysX support

 

Ya, I've tried the .83 drivers from laptopvideo2go and the latest physx drivers, and it still won't let me enable.

Do I need a modded inf from somewhere else?

 

You downloaded the drivers from laptopvideo2go, but did you download their modded .inf with it? I believe you have to download that seperately

 

Ya, I used the modded inf from the same page... /shrug

Maybe I screwed something up. I will try again when I get home.

 

make sure the .83 driver youre downloading is the international version, for which the modded .inf is intended for. the English standalone version wont work with the modded .inf, from what i experienced.

 

Download the INTL version from Nvidia's site and use LV2G modded inf?

 

I'm trying that now. We'll see if this works.

 

I noticed bioshock plays smoother.. gears of war does play alot smoother very little hickups; which makes me happy
