Yesterday, Nvidia released a new set of PhysX system drivers for its GeForce 8, 9 and GTX 200 series desktop GPUs as well as all AGEIA PhysX PPUs.

What's particularly noteworthy about this release is the fact that unlike most previous releases, it actually includes a change log. To begin, the new drivers add support for the recently released GTX 295 and the upcoming GTX 285, set to launch on January 15th. 

More importantly, however, the release resolves occasional system crashes in Mirror's Edge when PhysX is running on certain hardware configurations. Additionally, several PhysX SDK runtime issues have been addressed for multi-GPU configurations in Hybrid environments - for instance, if two or three GPUs are rendering in SLI while an additional GPU is calculating physics. All latest runtimes and SDK runtimes seem to be included as well. Finally, the release supports PhysX acceleration on GeForce via CUDA 2.0 for SDK versions 2.7.3, 2.7.2, 2.7.5, 2.8.0 and 2.8.1.

The new drivers are an official release from Nvidia and can be downloaded here.
