Ageia PhysX physics accelerator, v.7.06.26, A00. Initial release driver. Get the latest driver. To view all drivers for your XPS 420, go to Drivers & Downloads.
- AGEIA PhysX PCI Card: Delivering physics in games is no easy task. It's an extremely compute-intensive environment based on a unique set of physics algorithms that require tremendous amounts of.
- If you are the owner of a dedicated Ageai PPU (PhysX accelerator), here is a thread on PhysXInfo forums that explains how to restore the PPU support with the latest NVIDIA drivers. For that, you need the following ingredients: an old Ageai PhysX System Software that supports Ageia PPU. I think that AGEIA PhysX Driver 7.11.13 should be ok.
- What is the AGEIA PhysX Processor? PhysX component does not show up in the NVIDIA display driver installer with driver versions 280.19 and above; Supported NVIDIA® GeForce® configurations for PhysX™ What is the AGEIA PhysX Accelerator? Which graphics cards can accelerate NVIDIA PhysX?
- Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old.

Here are two important updates about NVIDIA PhysX and ATI Radeon story:
This news seems to confirm a fact I noticed few weeks ago when I did some PhysX tests with the very-upcoming GeeXLab. When an ATI Radeon graphics card is installed and used for graphics rendering, the hardware PhysX acceleration is disabled by NVIDIA drivers. The news says that only users who have an NVIDIA card installed for PhysX and an ATI card for graphics are affected.
Since the release of 186 graphics drivers NVIDIA has decided to disable PhysX anytime a non-NVIDIA GPU is present in the same PC. Apple mouse driver for windows 10.
The source of this news comes from NGOHQ where we can read this:
“Hello JC,
Ill explain why this function was disabled.
Physx is an open software standard any company can freely develop hardware or software that supports it. Nvidia supports GPU accelerated Physx on NVIDIA GPUs while using NVIDIA GPUs for graphics. NVIDIA performs extensive Engineering, Development, and QA work that makes Physx a great experience for customers. For a variety of reasons – some development expense some quality assurance and some business reasons NVIDIA will not support GPU accelerated Physx with NVIDIA GPUs while GPU rendering is happening on non- NVIDIA GPUs. I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused but I hope you can understand.
Best Regards,
Troy
NVIDIA Customer Care”
American megatrends driver download for windows xp. But how Ageia PhysX PPU owners are affected?
I’ve just done some tests with PhysX FluidMark, a Radeon HD 4850 for graphics rendering and an Ageia PhysX card for PhysX acceleration. Here are the results (benchmark settings: fullscreen, 1280×1024, 60 seconds, no AA):
- Radeon HD 4850 (Catalyst 9.10 beta) + PhysX in software mode: score = 627 points
- Radeon HD 4850 (Catalyst 9.10 beta) + PhysX in hardware mode (runtimes 8.08.01 + Ageia PPU): score = 1176 points
- Radeon HD 4850 (Catalyst 9.10 beta) + PhysX in hardware mode (runtimes 8.09.04 + Ageia PPU): score = 1175 points
- Radeon HD 4850 (Catalyst 9.10 beta) + PhysX in software mode (runtimes 9.09.0814 + Ageia PPU): score = 630 points – I didn’t manage to enable hardware mode!
- Radeon HD 4850 (Catalyst 9.10 beta) + PhysX in software mode (runtimes 9.09.14 + Ageia PPU): score = 634 points – I didn’t manage to enable hardware mode!
From this test, Ageia PhysX card is not supported anymore from 9.09.0814. PhysX runtimes 9.09.0814 are the same generation than ForceWare 186.xx…
Conclusion: seems all cards that can accelerate PhysX (GeForce and Ageia PPU) are disabled when a Radeon is present if you use latest NVIDIA drivers (ForceWare or PhysX).
