WorthPlaying writes : "Nvidia has released new graphics drivers that will allow owners of most GeForce 8, GeForce 9, and GeForce GTX 200-series cards to automatically use PhysX acceleration. Along with the drivers will come a PhysX software pack containing free UT 3 maps, the full version of NetDevil's Warmonger, a couple of Nvidia demos, and sneak peeks at Object Software's Metal Knight Zero and Nurien Software's Nurien social-networking service."

Well considering they're giving you the option to throw an older Series 8 card into your PC to use as a hardware physics card it's pretty impressive.

Time to dig up my old 8600 GT

4 - Direct Link
Anyone be kind enough to provide the direct link for the drivers?

The one in the article brings me to a 'page not found' on NVidia's website, and (similar to bourner's situation above me), the site claims that the latest driver available for my 8800GTS is dated late June (version 175.xx). o_O

4.3 - That's a UK site
Does it matter if I download it to my PC if i'm in America? The software / drivers should all work the same, right? NVidia doesn't have the force within website working on their US site.
