NVIDIA Confirms Lack of Support for 32-Bit PhysX on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, Affecting Borderlands 2, Mirror’s Edge, Batman: Arkham City, and ...

[Tsing]

32-bit implementations of PhysX, the open-source, real-time physics engine middleware SDK owned by NVIDIA that has enabled simulated debris, soft body dynamics (e.g., cloth simulation), and/or other realistic effects in nearly 70 popular PC games, are not supported on GeForce RTX 50 Series "Blackwell" GPUs, NVIDIA has confirmed.

I don't recall ever being able to use Physx on Batman Arkham with my RTX3070 or GTX1070

I mean isn't cpu physx fine I thought that's what everyone was doing anyway.

I didn’t even realize GPU-accelerated PhysX was still a thing, and these older games, well… given how much faster hardware is do they still require hardware acceleration?

The only modern game I know of that uses GPU-accelerated PhysX is Metro Exodus I think.

Yeah, but only because you can't even enable their PhysX effects unless you have GPU hardware that can run it.
