Nvidia just posted a public beta of a driver that sparked quite some controversy in recent days. Version 177.39 is currently the only version to support GeForce PhysX. Nvidia also mentioned that it will be releasing a 177.41 WHQL driver today, which, however, will not include PhySX supported, as it was built before version .39.

The driver download links are:

Windows Vista 32-bit (opens in new tab)
Windows Vista 64-bit
Windows XP 32-bit (opens in new tab)
Windows XP 64-bit (opens in new tab)

    Huh?

    I understand that nVidia is trying to fix their PhysX drivers but...how about a statement to capture the public trust again at least!

    This is a start. Then mature drivers are released. Then ATI releases Havoc drivers. Then Microsoft releases DirectPhysics. Something like this will be progress.

    That will be funny when M$ does that. They will DirectX and DirectP!

    "Adds support for NVIDIA PhysX on GeForce 9800 GTX, GeForce GTX 280, and GeForce GTX 260 GPUs, including SLI configurations."

    No 8000 series yet :(
