Nvidia To Bring WHQL-certified PhysX Drivers On August 5th
This driver will support PhysX acceleration on all capable GeForce 8, 9 and GTX cards, while carrying Microsoft’s WHQL certificate.

Here is a link to the previous topic that i created about it a few weeks ago (along with all the benchmarks and showing improvements of how good physx is
)

any ideas on when they should be released? cause physx would make everything about 10x better
-edit-
just re read the articles and saw :X and looked at the software, didnt they say they're making it available to the 8 series cards?

This is all well and good but I doubt anyone plays the games that can use these drivers.

Quoted........
Summing up, AMD claims that the ForceWare 177.39 driver "fools" the 3DMark Vantage benchmark. We’re not so sure.
Quoted........
When it comes to the topic of physics on a GPU, Mark believes that using GPU for physics is not a cheat. Rather, he considers this feature a bonus for users of Unreal Tournament 3 who own Nvidia graphics cards.
Those users can now play games that offer features that were designed for an Ageia PPU simply by using their high-end GPU. The only thing that Nvidia did was to change the library that we shipped with the game, and ultimately made those levels run better."

Ati were claming that Nvidia Physx cheated 3dmark vantage scores because it used the gfx processor to process PhysX affected objects... basically.. PhysX is a good thing.. and Ati are crying about it..
Fuck ati vs nvidia..
