Today, NVIDIA officially launched GPU acceleration for PhysX when they released
the PhysX driver version 8.06.12 which enables PhysX acceleration for the following cards :

GeForce GTX 280
GeForce GTX 260
GeForce 9800 GTX+
GeForce 9800 GTX

You will need to install the latest 177.39 ForceWare driver in addition to the PhysX driver. At this moment,
PhysX support has only been enabled for those four GPUs. NVIDIA will progressively
enable PhysX support in the other GeForce 9 and GeForce 8 graphics over the next few weeks.

All d/loads here

Apparently there has been some sucess with 177.35 and 177.26 driver with an .inf modification.

Works a treat for me on G92.
 
I know the CPU score in '06 shoots up because of the reduced load, but how are real games affected? And how many titles actually employ PhysX? I thought it was all Havok done on the CPU?
 
Wait.. ive been reading about this on the Guru3D forums alot. Does it work with the 9800 GX2?
