InsideHW has published fine article about hardware PhysX acceleration, with some benchmarks included.  Games (Batman Arkham Asylum, Darkest of Days and Mirror’s Edge) overview part isn’t much detailed, and only three GPUs were tested (GTS250, GTX260, GTX285), but this article is good read if you want to get in touch with current GPU PhysX posture.

Browsing through Nvidia website, we’ve found a new official PhysX trailer (not comparison video, released previously) for Darkest of Days title.

It’s located at PhysX technology page,  at “Featured Videos” section.

We’ve updated our Darkest of Days profile with PhysX comparison screenshots, but this time they differ a little from other comparison screens we make, as they cover all three PhysX settings types in Darkest of Days - PhysX High vs PhysX Medium vs PhysX Low.

We’ve uploaded new PhysX comparison video for Darkest of Days PC retail. Released only two days ago, this game drags player through different time periods, from Pompei to World War 2.  B-quality title, but gives unique apportunity to use futuristic weapons in the past. At least it worth a try.
