Introduction to NVIDIA PhysX Software
Simply put, NVIDIA PhysX is a physics-accelerated graphics engine. PhysX, pronounced the same as Physics, is a set of physics computing engines developed by AGEIA (transliterated as "Agia" or "Oga").
The function of the physics computing engine is to make the movement of objects in the virtual world conform to the physical laws of the real world, so as to make the game more realistic. Physical simulation calculations require very powerful integer and floating point computing capabilities. More importantly, physical processing is highly parallel and requires multi-threaded calculations. The calculations are very complex and consume a lot of resources.
So far, there are not many games that use this technology, such as "Unreal Tournament 3", and "Batman: Arkham Asylum" is one of the best.
To realize the PhysX function, the performance requirements of the graphics card are extremely high. NVIDIA requires that if the PhysX function is to be executed smoothly in the game, the graphics card must reach the GTX 470 level (this is still a low requirement). So it is fatal for players with poor financial situation.
Since the PhysX physics engine is not designed to be calculated by the CPU, AGEIA has also designed special computing hardware for the PhysX engine, the PhysX physics accelerator card. The core of the PhysX physical accelerator card is called PPU, which is the Physics processing Unit.
As long as you can run the NVIDIA PhysX physics engine, I can tell you without hesitation that you will get a very realistic gaming experience~
NVIDIA PhysX installation steps
1. Download the NVIDIA PhysX graphics card physical acceleration driver and unzip it, double-click the .exe to run the program to start the installation
2. Agree to the license agreement and the system will automatically install
3. Until the installation is completed, click the "Close" button to exit
How to use NVIDIA PhysX
Generally speaking, the physx function is turned on by default. After using the NVIDIA control panel to enter the driver settings, there is a physx option. You can intuitively see whether the physx function is turned on. Some games need to turn on the physx function. Some games, such as "Mafia 2", need to turn on the physx function in the game options. They are turned off by default.
NVIDIA PhysX FAQ
The physxloader.DLL file is missing when running the game?
Physxloader.dll is a dll file after installing the physx physics engine. Its absence may cause the system's graphics card to not operate properly. When your computer pops up an error message such as "physxloader.dll not found" or "physxloader.dll is missing", download the physxloader.dll file and use it to help you solve the above problems.
NVIDIA PhysX update log
1. NVIDIA PhysX integrates the new version of PhysS runtime (Runtimes) required by new games;
2. Upgrade the Ageia PhysS physical processor runtime (you need to install the old PhysS acceleration driver such as 8.09.04 first);
3. NVIDIA PhysX integrates the new PhysS SDK runtime for developers;
