RTX 50 Series GPUs give up PhysX support for 32-bit old games

According to foreign media reports, Nvidia removes GPU PhysX support for all 32-bit games in the 50 series graphics card, which means that the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 (and all other RTX 50 series GPUs) will not be able to run through GPU-accelerated PhysX.Snow Crisis: Sleeping Mystery, Batman: Arkham City, Borderlands 2, Ghost Response: Spike Warrior 2, Edge of Mirror, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag》 and "Bioshock: Infinite".Instead, you will have to rely on the CPU PhysX solution, which is similar to what AMD GPUs have been offering for years.

It's really a pity, because one of the best things about PC games is to look back at old games. These PhysX games had quite high hardware requirements back then.

Nvidia says CUDA drivers will continue to support running 32-bit application binaries on GeForce RTX 40, GeForce RTX 30 series, GeForce RTX 20/GTX 16 series, GeForce GTX 10 series and GeForce GTX 9 series GPUs.However, it is not supported on the GeForce RTX 50 series and newer architectures.

I don't know why Nvidia gave up its support for them.Ironically, Mafia 2 with PhysX feels much better than the ridiculous remake we got in 2020.And now, if you want to replay this game, you have to stick to the old version of the GPU.Foreign media said that this is a regression!

Too disappointing.Nvidia dropped the chain here.We all understand that these are old games.However, no CPU is now able to run these games at an acceptable frame rate.Therefore, in a blink of an eye, these games become unplayable.

I don't know if Nvidia will decide to correct this issue one day.After all, this seems to be a problem with the drivers.So, hopefully someone can crack the CUDA driver and add support for 32-bit games.
