9262 PhysX driver

[ETRacer]

Does anyone know if Sager/ Clevo will be updating the video drivers for the 8800 /9800 GTX cards in the notebooks to take advantage of the Nvidia PhysX unit in the GPU?

According to Nvidia... NVIDIA PhysX acceleration on all GeForce 8-series, 9-series and 200-series GPUs with a minimum of 256MB dedicated graphics memory.

I installed it on my NP9262 with 9800M GT and it works great. I played Unreal Tournament 3 with it but it only works on a few new maps but the effects are amazing. I really hope this technology takes off in games. NVidia is pushing to provide it free to owners of ATi cards by AMD also in an attempt to corner the market.

Currently only a few limited games support the technology so unless you play one of those games it's irrelevant for your system.

I think officially it's still beta so I don't know if Sager will provide drivers for it. This is an old problem of notebook vendors not supporting updates to graphics cards and NVidia is attempting to address this problem especially considering how notebook sales are quickly overtaking desktop sales and gaming notebooks are becoming more common.

You don't have to wait for Sager. You can go to laptopvideo2go (http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19675) and get custom modified inf files to work with newer drivers that are specifically designed for Clevo systems such as the Sager. Just be sure to read up on the installation method and understand what you are doing.
