    Hi,

    Did anyone managed to get PhysX on a 5793 with 8800 GTX using Windows Vista 32-bit?
    I've tried both 175.95 and 160.02 and nothing.

    Are there any other drivers I should try?

    PhysX incorporation into the Geforce's have shown little to no difference in real game (UT3 and GRAW) benchmarks.

    It may show improvements in synthetic benchmarks (like 3DMark06), but a dedicated PPU shown more improvement.

    In any case, only a few games actually support PhysX, so it doe snot really matter anymore if a system supports it or not.

    I tried installing CUDA drivers as instructed here, but the results were the same. In this other thread only people using XP were able to use PhysX.

    Which OS are you using, Rambo29?
