Nvidia’s done with PhysX, it seems.

TLDR: NVIDIA removed support for PhysX with the 50 series GPUs, resulting in worse performance with PhysX games than previous GPU generations

    mirrors edge drops to under 10 fps when breaking glass which generates physx objects… with a 9800x3d.

    the current physx cpu implementation is artificially shit, the cpu can easily handle it nowadays but it depends on skilled community members or nvidia themselves to unshit it.

      Hmm, I was not aware of that. I’ve seen (not Nvidia related) simulations with probably tens of thousands of rigidbodies running on relatively old midrange CPUs in real time, so it’s pretty crazy that it’s that slow.

      nVidia doesn’t really have that many successful unshits, historically speaking, do they?
