Support For Select, Classic, 32-Bit GPU-Accelerated PhysX Games

GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs launched at the beginning of the year, alongside the phasing out of 32-bit support for CUDA. This meant that PhysX effects in a number of older, yet beloved games were not GPU-accelerated on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs.

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.

By installing our new GeForce Game Ready Driver, the full GPU-accelerated PhysX experience can now be enjoyed in:

• Alice: Madness Returns
• Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
• Batman: Arkham City
• Batman: Arkham Origins
• Borderlands 2
• Mafia II
• Metro 2033
• Metro: Last Light
• Mirror's Edge

Support for Batman: Arkham Asylum is planned to be added in the first part of 2026.

You can use NVPI to try manually enable PhysX for yet-unsupported games

May (note the 'may') be able to force in other 32bit PhysX titles using Nvidia Profile Inspector, not had time to test yet and may also require Nvidia App <strong>works, see UPDATE</strong>

Flag 0x5067ecc4 with value 1 has been added to driver level game profiles that are on the Series 50 32Bit PhysX whitelist

Setting ID_0x5067ecc4 = 0x00000001 < new flag, only in Series 50 32bit PhysX forced games
and related flags?

Setting ID_0x50166c5e = 0x00000000 < should already be present but check anyway
Setting ID_0x10e3293a = 0x00000001 < should already be present (PhysX Application: On) but check anyway
may also need to be set if not already present in the driver level game profiles.

UPDATE: Confirmed as working in Batman: Arkham Asylum by /u/KuraiShidosha:

flag 0x5067ecc4 enables hardware accelerated 32 bit PhysX on RTX 5090 in Batman: Arkham Asylum. Proof:

Only for the 50XX?

Only for the 50XX?

it was only removed for 50xx

 

[Guilty_AI]

nice, though i always personally considered physx a waste of performance and disabled it

 

[Salmorejo]

Only for the 50XX?

AFAIK PhysX worked with 40XX and previous cards.

This sounds like an emulation layer for specific type of games. its not running native to support all games like 4000 series no ?

still. I am glad they getting it back. it was the only advantage a 4000 series card had over the 5000. for those who want to play legacy games perfectly.

I had no idea!
