Get It Together, NVIDIA | Terrible GPU Driver Stability
NVIDIA giveth, NVIDIA taketh away | RIP PhysX 32-bit (GTX 580 vs. RTX 5080)
Meatsack summary / highlights:
The 5000 series has dropped support for 32-bit CUDA, causing e.g., 2010s-era games that implement PhysX to have to execute PhysX on the CPU, which can lead to atrocious performance (like a GTX 580 outperforming an RTX 5080) under bad in-game conditions -- even on a high-end current-gen system -- if you leave PhysX enabled and have a 5000-series GPU. Games designed with PhysX in mind are "experientially different" without PhysX and so disabling it is not desirable.
It's not the biggest deal in the world that games from 12, 15 years ago don't run on these modern GPUs - that's not really the core complaint here. [...] The real problem comes from everything that's sort of attached to it. And the concern we have is the broader issue which is that Nvidia has a habit of trying to come up with some sort of exclusive graphics tech for games - and it's the "exclusive" part that's key there.
