Key points
- Used by many games for physics effects.
- Hardware acceleration is possible through Nvidia graphics cards in supported games.
Latest version
For recent games install the NVIDIA PhysX System Software. For older games (~2008 and earlier, using versions 2.7.2 or <2.7.1) install the NVIDIA PhysX Legacy System Software.
If you are using an Nvidia graphics card some PhysX versions may be already included with the drivers.
PhysX v2.5.2 compatibility
- The NVIDIA PhysX Legacy System Software does not include v2.5.2; this is known to affect Infernal and The Void but there may be other affected games.
Download missing DLLs[citation needed] |

- Requirements:
- Windows 7 or Windows XP/Windows 2003 (Windows Vista will not work)
- AMD/ATI GPU used for your primary display
- NVIDIA GPU that support hardware accelerated PhysX (series 8 and newer, with a minimum of 32 cores and 256 MB of video memory)
