I have the Xbox version, and don't know of how to get Physx using the GPU. However, Physx isn't used heavily in the game, so I'm not sure you would even notice a difference with it set to CPU.

If nobody answers in the forum, try emailing support@larian.com.


Welcome to the forum.

GeForce GTX 460 should have full PhysX support, shouldn't it?

I regret I don't have a CPU that can handle it, so I don't know how to enable it. Other than checking "Nvidia PhysX" in the control panel, and frobbing the options there (particularly the "settings" tab->"hardware device selection" radiobuttons), I have no good suggestions, I am afraid.

There are diagnostics on the same tab that might help you.

i have already tried that i have changed the setting many times and it didn't change anything.
but thx for trying to help.

Hi,

@ArchAngel543

The game doesn't support true "nvidia physx", like Mafia 2 etc. . You won't get any performance gain even if you could enable GPU Physx.

@Raze

The XBOX 360 can't do GPU physx and never will, because the 360 has an ATI GPU and besides the 360 is pretty old and it is unlikely that it could do nvidia gpu physx, even with an NVIDIA chip.

Thanks for the information!
seems that my problem got solved kinda.
