    On my factory 32bit M1530 I noticed when I went into Add/remove program to remove my Nvidia driver there was also and entry avove Nvidia drivers for "Nvidia AGEIA Physx"

    Now that I have reformatted and installed the 64 bit version I am wondering if this is something I need to install? Does anyone see a performance increase or decrease using the Physx software? Could someone give me a link to download it?

    They come packaged with the latest Nvidia drivers, at least for the desktop GPUs.

    You can also download it separate if you want.

    It is meant to help performance by doing some of the games physic's calculations so that the GPU can focus on rending the image.
