PhysX appears most relevant to small businesses and mid-market organizations, with positive experiences concentrated in software-related work.
  • Company size — Small business: Users describe applying it to game and technical simulation work.
  • Company size — Mid-market: Users describe using it in graphics, game development, and simulation contexts.
  • Industry — Computer software: This is the most represented industry among positive experiences.
  • Industry — Computer games: Game physics and visual effects are also a clear use case.

"Reviewing best application for GPU, everyone must use"
3.5/5
What do you like best about PhysX?

It has capability to handle the settings and manipulate it. Moreover, the sketches and assemblies can be manipulated much easily. It allows to save much time to work on the execution of bigger tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhysX?

When i used it, i had to set many options and features manually for the purpose of optimizing the GPU which must be done default. But it does the manipulation very efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best technology that integrates well with GPUs"
4/5
What do you like best about PhysX?

The graphics on the screen appears much more presentable than before. Furthermore, it is quite efficient and refreshing for the graphical applications. It also tends to rebuild the assemblies and sketches with complex structures very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhysX?

For the optimization of my GPU i need to enable many of the settings manually. But the manipulation factor is the best thing i can have to do with settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"it is now running as an open source"
4/5
What do you like best about PhysX?

The NVIDIA PhysX integrates well with robotics and vision of computer. Best tool for self-driven motor vehicles and possesses computing of high performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhysX?

Canned animations take time to be produced on a polished level in developing a game where ordinary canned animations have been used is not organic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Disappointing in this"
2.5/5
What do you like best about PhysX?

I'm not a professional user of PhysX. Yeah we have a good support, nice presentation and not bad UI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhysX?

I repeat, my experience just been first look but i have what to say. Perhaps overstated expectations, bu too much adverstising of this feature... Its just automation some scripts and no more. We have engine with bad performance, non freeware and bad support AMD graphic cards Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"good technology"
5/5
What do you like best about PhysX?

one of the best technologies from Nvidia that makes video games reach another level of detail and perfection. It's incredible the amount of detail that can be achieved by activating this type of technology while playing. The environment and settings become cinematic and the physics of the environment improve enormously, in addition to making everything much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhysX?

sometimes there are very strong FPS drops due to the large amount of calculations needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Game Physics Simulator"
5/5
What do you like best about PhysX?

Gaming on a PhysX enabled device is awesome. It's one of a handful of things that has kept me a committed nVidia customer - you can't get this technology on AMD or anywhere else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhysX?

It's sort of frustrating that this is a separate installation from the main driver. Very minor thing. Honestly I have no real complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A software that anyone with built-in nVidia GPU with PhysX engine should be taking advantage of"
5/5
What do you like best about PhysX?

The ability to control my GPU settings and configuration manually, and on the fly. I ignored the setting and allowed the system defaults to do what they wanted, but realized (for Workstation purposes) using Quadro without dedicating my GPU to PhysX calculation tasks, I was wasting resources. This has made rendering times and on screen graphics presentation occur much more efficiently, refreshing and rebuilding assemblies and complex sketches much more rapidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhysX?

I think that a lot of the features I manually enabled in order to optimize the GPU should be turned on by default, but having the ability to manipulate them now is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
