""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," says Nvidia."
"PhysX was a big part of games like Borderlands 2 and Mirror's Edge, and it originally didn't ship with Nvidia's latest GPUs because the RTX 50-series dropped support for 32-bit CUDA support. That prevented these older games using PhysX from being GPU-accelerated on the latest Nvidia GPUs. Some titles like Borderlands 2 dropped below 60fps, because the games were relying on a CPU to deliver PhysX effects."
"Nvidia has now created "custom support" for top-played PhysX-accelerated games, but not all games are supported yet. Here's the current list: Alice: Madness ReturnsAssassin's Creed IV: Black FlagBatman: Arkham CityBatman: Arkham OriginsBorderlands 2Mafia IIMetro 2033Metro: Last LightMirror's Edge Nvidia says it's also planning to support Batman: Arkham Asylum "in the first part of 2026," but there's no word on any additional games."
Nvidia released a Game Ready driver (591.44) that restores GPU-accelerated PhysX for a set of popular titles on GeForce RTX 50-series cards. The RTX 50-series initially lacked PhysX support because 32-bit CUDA compatibility was removed, forcing older PhysX-enabled games to use the CPU for physics and causing performance drops. The new driver provides custom support that enables full performance comparable to prior-generation GPUs for listed games such as Borderlands 2, Mirror's Edge, Batman: Arkham City, and Metro titles. Nvidia plans to add Batman: Arkham Asylum in early 2026, while broader coverage for many legacy PhysX games remains unlikely.
