nVIDIA’s PhysX System Software enables PhysX acceleration in all Geforce 8, 9 and GTX 200 series video cards. Version 9.0.0010 of this has just been released by nVIDIA and it supposedly fixes several crashing issues when running some games (including Mirror’s Edge) with PhysX acceleration enabled.
First of all you need to have an nVIDIA PhysX compatible video card to use this software (any Geforce 8, 9 and 200 series card will do). Also, you cannot directly install v9.09.0010 if you don’t already have an older version of PhysX installed. If this is the case, just install the latest ForceWare drivers with PhysX on your system and then install this version separately.
