the physx driver is a waste of time as it doesnt work on g92m at this time.

will this work with our 8800gts?

question: why does the nvidia system tools w/ esa report diff. CPU temp against CPUidmonitor.nvidia = 61 C / CPUID = 41 C idle. i run them both at the same time.

so in short.is useless with the 8800gts then?

special thing to note when using driver sweeper is to clean it TWICE. after using clean the first time i checked and some of the items that were cleaned were unticked.so i did a clean again and saw that there were several things drivers sweeper didnt pick up the first time.

it said it installed, but i didn't have any physx games or apps to prove that it actually worked work. and the one i tried wouldn't even run. and you cant run 3dmark vantage with xp because it's only for vista. and since xp is no longer my main os, i just left it at that till they have it running under vista.

does any1 know when nVidia releases the updated drivers that support physx? I really want to play the UT3 Physx mod and Warmonger when my laptop arrives on the 10th or the 11th
