NVIDIA has released its , which adds new DLSS 4 titles & also enables PhysX support on select titles for RTX 50 GPUs.
A major change with the new GeForce RTX 50 GPUs when they launched was that NVIDIA dropped 32-bit support for CUDA. This meant that PhysX acceleration was no longer available on RTX 50 GPUs . This was disappointing news for gamers who wanted to play older titles (with PhysX) on their brand-new GPUs. It looks like NVIDIA has listened to these gamers, and almost a year after launch, the RTX 50 series will now receive full PhysX acceleration in select "top-played" PhysX titles. These titles include:
- Alice: Madness Returns
- Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
- Batman: Arkham City
- Batman: Arkham Origins
- Borderlands 2
- Mafia II
- Metro 2033
- Metro: Last Light
- Mirror’s Edge
GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs launched at the beginning of the year, alongside the phasing out of 32-bit support for CUDA. This meant that PhysX effects in a number of older, yet beloved games were not GPU-accelerated on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs.
With the launch of our new driver today, we are adding custom support for GeForce gamers’ top-played PhysX-accelerated games, enabling full performance on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, in line with our existing PhysX support on prior generation GPUs.
