How to restore PPU support with latest PhysX Drivers
Owners of original Ageia PhysX cards are not in love these days – PPUs are not only not recognized by PhysX SDK 2.8.3/8.4, but even not supported by more or less recent PhysX System Software.
However, our reader Andrew “MohawkADE” Elliott has discovered a way (through drivers mixing, registry editing and some alchemy) to re-enable PPU support even with newest PhysX Drivers.
In this case you’re be able to kept your PPU in the system, benifit from hardware acceleration in PPU PhysX games and, potentially, in CPU PhysX titles, or even pair your PPU with dedicated Nvidia GPU.
Head over to our forums for further instructions.
Is this allow to run Mafia 2 with AMD card while turning on APEX?
Thanks for sharing.
