Hybrid PhysX mod 1.02: 195.xx drivers and Win XP support

GenL has released updated mod for hybrid PhysX systems – now it works with recent 195.xx GeForce drivers and supports Windows XP/2003

UPDATE: Hybrid PhysX mod 1.03 released – with timebomb fix and lastest drivers support.

- added support for new checks in 195.xx drivers
- added support for XP/2003 drivers
- both x86 and x64 are supported by a single mod now

Notes about the mod:
- Both x86 and x64 are supported by a single file now. If you are using x86 OS, you should just skip patching 64-bit binaries (press No when asked for a search).
- Don’t forget that you must be able to access nvidia control panel. For this connect nvidia GPU to the second input port of your monitor – physically or virtually (i don’t know if this is possible), or any other way you find. There are community-generated tutorials for this, i can’t tell anything because i own only 1 GPU.
- Lite version may come later, if needed. Additionally, i can fix errors if you find them and release it with an update.

Notes about XP/2003 support:
- Only 195.62 drivers are tested for XP/2003 case. I can’t say anything about earlier versions, i didn’t even try them.
- It should work for XP/2003 x64 editions too, would be great if anyone will confirm.
- It will work for 2000 only if original XP/2003 package supports it.

You can download PhysX mod 1.02 directly from our server (not available) *

Update #2: 1.02 mod is working with new 196.21 drivers.

Update #4: 1.02 mod may not work properly with 196.75/197.xx drivers, users are also reporting incompatibility with 9.10.0222 PhysX System Software.

In addition, original post contains mod for PhysX drivers 9.09.30, that allows to use original Ageia PPU with ATI cards.

Please use commentaries to this post or thread at NGHQ forums to report errors, if they’ll occur. Reports with positive results are also appreciated.

Hybrid PhysX systems benchmarks: HD4870/5870+9500/9600GT | HD4850/5750+9800GT | HD5870+GT220 | 2xHD5870 + 9800GT | HD5870/GTX285 + 9800GT

Dedicated PhysX GPU performance dependence on PCI-E bandwidth

Update #3: Catalyst 10.2 and extended display error fix – in addition, you’ll be able to use dedicated NV GPU for PhysX without necessity to extend display.

I recently bought a 5870 and I have an old 9800GTX lying about, is there a guide here explaining exactly what I have to do to get this working because I don’t really want to mess about with things I don’t have full knowledge of.

Thank you

First of all, I’m running ATI 5870 and Nvidia GTX 260 under Win7 64-bit. So far, I’ve tried using 196.21 and 195.62 WQHL drivers, installing under normal windows or in safe mode. I have to apply the 1.02 mod in safe mode, since windows never asks to restart. When I apply the mod, I see several “Pattern not found” lines, but two (I think) files are still patched and I can enable PhysX from Nvidia control panel. However, when I enabled PhysX in Batman: AA (High setting) or ran the FluidMark: PhysX fluid simulation OpenGL benchmark (oZone3D.Net), I see no difference between PhysX being enabled or disabled (no destructable surfaces in Batman:AA; same score in FluidMark). Some game that I have installed Nvidia PhysX software in the past and it still shows up in my Control Panel but I can’t run it due to some nv file missing. Should I uninstall all Nvidia PhysX software prior to installing Nvidia drivers and applying the mod?

Is anywhere a fix for 9.10.0222 PhysX System Software? I need this Software for Metro 2033, but now no game already supports the PhysX

I want to install a second hand Ageia pyhsX card to run alongside my 4890. I already have the drivers and Ageia control panel installed as they seem to have been included with Unreal Tornament 3 (at least I think it was this game). They’re date 2007. Will the physX work and will it continue to do so with newer games eg Batman AA?

Afaik, some newest PhysX games are still playble with old PPU – Mirror’s Edge, Batman and Dark Void with lowest PhysX settings.

However, trying to fire up a PPU with ATI card may be a problem. Old PPU drivers probably won’t work properly with recent PhysX games, and new PhysX drivers won’t support ATI+PPU setup.
But there is also mod for PPU drivers, so you can try it out.

I can’t seem to get this to work. I have a ATI 5770 and an Nvidia 9800 GTX. I’ve tried with Catalyst 10.2 and 10.3. For Nvidia drivers I’ve tried 196.21, 196.34, and 195.62. The Physx patch I’ve tried is 1.01 and 1.02.

I’ve followed multiple guides to try slightly different ways. I can have Physx enabled in the Nvidia control panel, but GPU-Z won’t show it’s enabled, and Fluidmark won’t run.

Now I keep getting an issue saying it can’t find phyxloader.dll and I should reinstall the program. Reinstalling and restarting my computer doesn’t do anything. I have reinstalled all drivers, or just the nvidia drivers quite a few times. I uninstall from the control panel, then user Driver Sweeper in safe mode.

Anybody have any ideas? I really want this to work.

Finally got it working.. (yeh, i told norton to shut up).
Then installed cuda (wanted to do some folding)..
Had to start all over again…

But i run into one problem :

When running fluidmark once… i got no problems…
When running fluidmark for the second time.. my system just hangs.
Now trying to get some game which has physx to try it on ingame.
W7 64, 197.13, 10.3, 9.10.0129(if im right, got like 5 versions). 5870, 9800GT.
Also used this : Hybrid_PhysX_197.13_ED___LP_Fix_V1.02
and the 1.02 mod.

Anyone got it working with PhysX_10.02.22_9.10.0222_SystemSoftware ???

Is the one that comes with Metro 2033. After installing it FluidMark would only run on software mode no matter what. I reinstalled drivers and nothing and patch. I’d have to reinstall an older Physx software I guess.

well, it said no virus. explain this to me

D:\progz\phsyx\PhysX-mod-1.02.rar » RAR » PhysX-mod-1.02\PhysX-mod-1.02.exe – a variant of Win32/Spy.Agent trojan

Now i cant open some of my programs.
BingBar came up for second time, when i installed it.
Didnt think it was this. And i did a full reinstall with formating my disk for the first time using it.

What happends..

#1
After reinstalling windows, to test this i just installed this program, and my explorer is messed up. cant use it normaly. And the downloads starts acting funny. Have to cancle em if they dont get a time out.

#2
If i try to open my msn the main contact window opens, but not the chat rooms.

#3
My mouse cursor did disapare sometimes, had to reboot to fix it.

So the mod works well, but what`s the point of using it when this happends?

As i tested it, this is the only program installed after formating and reinstalled windows. no more disks, only a singel SSD. so the virus has to come from this file, and the problems.

Can you guys clean the files? and upload a proper file please.

Sorry, user, but I haven’t saw any reports about problems caused by this mod (with thousands of people using it).

If you really experincing strange behaviour, provide normal feedback to mod creator – GenL. “Downloads acting funny” – that is not explanation.

I have an Asus Rampage II Gene with 2 5850s in crossfirex. This motherboard of course only has 2 pci-e 16x slots. But it also has a pci-e x4 slot. I know that you can run a video card in the x4 slot so here is my question. Could I add say a 9800GT to the x4 slot and use it for dedicated physX???

Yes, this is possible. Example – 2×5870 + 9800GT

As for PCI-E, x4 is sufficient enough. Tests
