NVIDIA will demonstrate new GPU PhysX game at PDXLAN?
“NVIDIA and Gearbox are bringing something really special to PDXLAN 19.
Attendees are in for an exclusive treat that will blow your mind!!”
These welcome words can be found on official page of upcoming PDXLAN event.
Rumors are saying, that NVIDIA will demonstrate special PhysX demo of a game from Gearbox Software, running on next-gen “Kepler” GPU.
UPDATE [19.02.2012]: NVIDIA presentation was held on Saturday (18 Feb), at 5 pm.
According to some people, who was participating in the event – NVIDIA was not showing Kepler GPUs.
Intead, there were Tegra 3 presentation, giveaway contests (with T-shirts and even Transformer Prime tablets) and Borderlands 2 demo. But, unfortunately, “no word on PhysX“ support in Borderlands.
Thats why gearbox looked for physx developers as you mentioned later in past. Also you crossed fingers for Borderlands 2 , my tip (and hope) is Aliens.
And it could be reason why they postoponed Aliens.

Indeed. I think their open-world structure and crazy-style gameplay opens more possibilities for PhysX effects to be applied

That is so needed! Borderlands felt terribly static: when driving around there were not even any rigidbodies to hit into (or for that matter, there were none in that game at all).
I really hope it turns out to be as big as I expect it to be.

Aliens: Colonial Marines is gearbox and is published by Sega and they are licensed for Apex. So the best guess would be a Aliens: Colonial Marines demo. It announced to use it.
I can’t wait.
