Don't you have to have like, 8 gigs of RAM just for games to run smoothly without Vista hogging memory space?

Never tried the operating system before, it's the only comment I receive immediately when I've asked about it.

Re: Nvidia PhysX Drivers 8.07.18 - PhysX on the 8 Series and up!
so yeam my firends 9600GT supports the new drivers. Download the ageia physx drivers, then the GFX drivers (32 or 64bit IF you have vista) and it works like a charm

Re: Nvidia PhysX Drivers 8.07.18 - PhysX on the 8 Series and up!
Warmonger here I come! So Nvidia actually pulled it off they actually made working physx driver for the 8800GT. That makes me laugh at anyone who bought the physx card if they saved their money they could afford another 8800 to dedicate to physx. Offtopic: Daman you avatar scares me. So after playing war crap It sickens me that we need a separate gpu/ppu to computer the simplistic physics being used in warmonger. I think game devs aren't optimizing there games on purpose forcing us buy better faster hardware. Ive seen better physics in red faction on the ps2.

Re: Nvidia PhysX Drivers 8.07.18 - PhysX on the 8 Series and up!
I can't get it working, first I downloaded the 177.39 driver, then After installing that I tryed the physx driver, right after accepting the terms I get an error saying that it had "Ended prematurely due to an error". Anyone know how to fix this? I'm running Vista 32 bit and using a factory OC'ed 8800GT.

Tried warmonger, the cloth physics are fairly impressive but honestly... everything else is a little lame.
Runs perfectly, but not convinced those physics couldn't be emulated at a decent speed without physx.

I know cloth physics are a little hard to accurately simulate but still. The cloths were really low res triangle wise toss in about 100 tris per cloth then you'll have some decent physics.

Hello, welcome to DataRealms, you managed to insult one of the few people you shouldn't in your first post. Congratulations. Goodbye, because you will most likely be mentally destroyed. EDIT: Nevermind

No he won't. Daman is a fairly genial and kind hearted fellow. The comment about his avatar is not the first, and if you would've been here for about 3 months longer, you would've known I convinced everyone to have a similar avatar.
Get back on topic kids.

Isn't Ageia owned by Nvidia now anyway?

Oh, wow, that did work wonders.
Works a lot better than I anticipated.
