I did, it's nice. I also found the 177.89 drivers for developers. I'm using them right now, installed them over 177.83 drivers.

8.8 Catalyst is out.

Nice! I'm guessing you just upgraded to Quad SLI 9800 GX2?

Warmonger is kinda neat - too bad it wasn't a bit more fleshed out.

There are two levels in Unreal Tournament too, you can find the under capture the flag mode. (After installing the patch).

Be aware it uses a lot of your CPU to, but it looks nice! I will do a benchmark later this week with and without physx to compare.

I know it makes me sound noob but i have to ask. What is the proper procedure for installing new Nvidia drivers?

My old system was Ati, i had to uninstall old and install new to get the job done

I found all of nvidias new downloads with physx a bit crap. I got all the stuf..and apart from the game (which seemed more taxing than crysis) the rest of the software either didnt work properly or felt half finished :/

Well, they are bringing PhysX to the mainstream, some bugs or under performing HW/SW was to be expected. Just because a card can do it, doesn't mean it can do it well. About being half finished, well, it was free.

Anyway im happy peeps are starting to discuss this and share experiences. I think physics (Havok, Ageia or even DX11) will be the future of gaming. And that also puts PC gaming on the cutting edge. I'm kinda curious to see where this is going.
