Mafia II Demo: PhysX Patch erschienen

Bei vielen, wenngleich nicht allen Besitzern einer NVIDIA Grafikkarte sorgte PhysX in der Mafia II Demo für Verdruss. Statt von der GPU wurden die Effekte auf der CPU gerechnet.

Da bisher CPU Optimierungen bei PhysX nicht vorhanden sind, brach die Leistung dementsprechend ein. NVIDIA hat nun reagiert und mit der PhysX System Software 9.10.0513 das Problem behoben.
