I was testing those Sample Demos (win64), e.g SampleCloth64, SampleSoftBody64, etc.  given by PhysX SDK 2.8.4.
All the demos work fine under the software mode, but not under the hardware mode. Under the hardware mode, all the cloth, softbody, fluid objects cannot be created and disappear in the scene.

The error message in the console is:
D:\...\PhysXSDK2.8.4\trunk\SDKs\Physics\src\NpPhysicsSDK.cpp(180): unknown error: Kernel execution failed.

The graphics card on my machine is nVidia GeForce GTX 660 which is CUDA supporting, PhysX supporting, and the OS is Vista 7 64-bit.

Any idea?

Interesting.
Do you have PhysX System Software installed, and if yes - what version ?

I downloaded the PhysX SDK (2.8.4.6) from the nVidia Develop Support Center and it says system software is not required.


(NOTE: This is the required core for all installations of the PhysX SDK. It contains headers, libs, dlls, samples, and documentation. Both x32 and x64 versions are included in the installer. Does NOT require a System Software installation.)

It seems that all the necessary dlls are already included.

PSS installation is not mandatory requirement (like in previous SDKs), but it is used to provide updates for GPU acceleration components. It seems in your case SDK simply can't recognize GTX 660, because it is a new GPU (and 2.8.4 is two years old).

So, give it a try.

Hmm.. what about newest 9.12.0904 drivers ?
Other than that, may be a bug, I'll try to ask to check it.
