Santa Clara (CA) - After demonstrating beta drivers featuring GPU-accelerated physics on 3DMark Vantage and Unreal Tournament III (GeForce GTX and 9800 boards), Nvidia is getting ready to release the official Windows driver.
This driver will support PhysX acceleration on all capable GeForce 8, 9 and GTX cards, while carrying Microsoft’s WHQL certificate. More importantly, the new ForceWare driver is expanding PhysX support to all currently available PhysX titles on the market, including Ghost Recon 2: Advanced Warfighter, Warmonger and Cell Factor: Revolution.
We expect that downloads of free games such as Warmonger and Cell Factor will actually spike once again in August, since now those games will be playable on a variety of cards.

2D, Acceleration, And Windows: Aren't All Graphics Cards Equal?
2D is something we take for granted when we're shopping for a new GPU. But if you do a lot of work on your desktop (and don't we all?), it bears a little more attention. We spent some time testing 2D performance and came up with some surprising results. Read More

Finally us G80 peeps will get to play with PhysX!
Yay! Physics! I love them.
There may be some complaints about about this. But for me, I'm happy/suprised this works at all.
Now if M$ can finish Direct Physics to work with ANY DX10+ GPU.....
Also benchmarks please for how this works on old PhysX games and new titles designed to use "normal" GPUs.
Yeah, I'm curious too what the benchmarks will show with and w/o the pysx.

I'm pretty impressed with this, not even something NV had to do. Hopefully it will increase the lifespan of my GTS 640s!
Which exact cards are supported?
Nevermind, found it:
GeForce GTX 280 GPUs
GeForce GTX 260 GPUs
GeForce 9800 GTX GPUs
AGEIA PhysX Processor (All)
As far as I know all CUDA enabled GPUs will support this.
Just 12 (or less) hours to go!
It's now the 6th, still waiting for these drivers...
Um, yeah, seriously. I'm hoping it didn't get pushed back to September for their "Big Bang II" for Forceware 180.
Well I guess these have been pushed back then...
Who confirmed that these were being released?
Pushed back to the 12th, tomorrow. Hopefully...
