Do we need to install Nvidia PhysX driver?

[stk2008 14]

Basically as per title

mines installed from the latest back in feburary.

But do we need it as ARMA uses CPU for PhyX?

Thanks

I would think yes.

When the graphics card cant do Physx the CPU takes over but needs to use the software driver provided with the physx install.

It should be installed as part of your video drivers if you're using Nvidia, but the game doesn't seem to need anything special to make it work. There's no special benefit for having a Physx capable accelerator for example, I haven't seen any objects with any physics type properties - all of the set dressing stuff is firmly fixed to the map in a stationary position. I think the vehicles are the only thing that may use physics calculations from Physx libraries, I haven't noticed any rag-doll like effects on enemy soldiers shot like that one preview video showed.

I don't know what game you're playing, but my A3 has rag doll physics.
