Kuai Technology News on December 5th, who would have thought that NVIDIA would actually revive the dying PhysX physics acceleration! In February of this year, the RTX 50 series quietly gave up 32-bit CUDA applications. PhysX happened to be only 32-bit, which was directly sentenced to death. This technology, which was born in 2004, has not had any updates. Two months later, NVIDIA open sourced the PhysX GPU core source code.
But unexpectedly, NVIDIA suddenly made a 180-degree turn, and the RTX 50 series once again supports 32-bit PhysX.
NVIDIA stated,Many old games that support PhysX physics acceleration are still loved by players. Therefore, according to community feedback, in the latest driver version 591.44, the RTX 50 series has added customized support for the most commonly played PhysX acceleration games, providing full-blooded performance.
Specific games include:
"Alice: Madness Returns", "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag", "Batman: Arkham City", "Batman: Arkham Origins", "Borderlands 2", "Mafia 2", "Metro 2033", "Metro: Last Light", "Mirror's Edge"
in addition,Batman: Arkham Asylum will be supported in the first quarter of next year.
This also means that, except for those on the list, other PhysX games are not guaranteed to perform on the RTX 50 series.
Of course, older graphics cards such as the RTX 40 series still fully support 32-bit PhysX and are not affected.
also,The driver version 591.44 is specially optimized to support "Battlefield 6: Winter Offensive", including a full set of technologies such as DLSS4 multi-frame generation, frame generation, super-score, DLAA, and Reflex.
Under 4K Ultra settings, DLSS4 multi-frame generation and super-scoring can bring an average frame rate increase of 3.8 times. Desktop cards can run up to 460FPS, and laptops can also reach 310FPS.
The new driver also improves the DLSS light reconstruction quality of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 7".
