Nvidia drops PhysX support for some of the best games from the early 2010s .

PhysX is a GPU -accelerated physics system that allows for more realistic physics simulations without putting pressure on the CPU .

Modern games rely on a range of physics systems that don’t depend on CUDA .

Gizmodo tested some games and found that performance impact can be significant.

With its latest RTX 50-series cards, Nvidia has failed to preserve games in a way that would help them run as well today as they did back then.

The best option is to plug a separate, older GeForce GPU into the system and run 32 -bit PhysX games exclusively on that card.
