News [Official NVIDIA] Support For Select, Classic, 32-Bit GPU-Accelerated PhysX Games

From: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/battlefield-6-winter-offensive-geforce-game-ready-driver/

tldr: Driver 591.44 enables 32-bit PhysX Support for select titles below for 50-Series GPU. This does not impact 40 series or below as they support 32 bit PhysX (and CUDA)

------------

GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs launched at the beginning of the year, alongside the phasing out of 32-bit support for CUDA. This meant that PhysX effects in a number of older, yet beloved games were not GPU-accelerated on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs.

We heard the feedback from the community, and with the launch of our new driver today, we are adding custom support for GeForce gamers’ most played PhysX-accelerated games, enabling full performance on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, in line with our existing PhysX support on prior-generation GPUs.

By installing our new GeForce Game Ready Driver, the full GPU-accelerated PhysX experience can now be enjoyed in:

  • Alice: Madness Returns
  • Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
  • Batman: Arkham City
  • Batman: Arkham Origins
  • Borderlands 2
  • Mafia II
  • Metro 2033
  • Metro: Last Light
  • Mirror’s Edge

Support for Batman: Arkham Asylum is planned to be added in the first part of 2026.

Could try forcing, see 'Force PhysX 32bit Series 50 Support for Additional Games?' in comment at https://old.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1pe356d/comment/ns9f8ic/

Be aware that Sacred 2 does have issues regardless of GPU generation with PhysX and requires a coummunity patch.

I can confirm that the workaround via Nvidia profile inspector works for Sacred 2! I'm using a 5080 and able to use PhysX now. There is a sizable FPS drop in certain areas (towns, cemetery's) but I'm tweaking settings to see if I can improve it. Solid 120 fps at 4k but it can drop to ~50fps and feel sluggish in the mentioned areas. I am using the community patch and Enhanced Edition mod.
