Nvidia PhysX Hacked To Support Rendering With ATI Cards

A patch is all you need.

Last week, Nvidia started pulling off the recently introduced support for PhysX on Nvidia cards and graphics rendering on AMD Radeon cards - which became possible with Windows 7 - with the latest driver update. This week the software check was hacked by someone obviously bothered with the decision and both vendors can now happily coexist in the same PC.

The steps to get PhysX working again are easy:

• Download the patch - x86 - 64bits
  
• Install Nvidia's driver and don't reboot
  
• Install the patch
  
• Reboot and it will working again.

Nvidia will probably soon take action against the said hacker and site hosting the patches, so get them while they're hot. It will be interesting to follow future updates to find out how determined they are to keep PhysX support all for themselves.
