PhysX will be enabled in the January 30th patch, if to trust this source (I do :p) http://physxinfo.com/news/10338/physx-effects-will-be-re-enabled-in-planetside-2-with-upcoming-patch/#more-10338

Good news! :D

Hmmm, I smell performance issues. :P

Not necessarily; PhysX worked quite well for me in the Beta :D
Went around 50 FPS with highest settings...

actually the other way round if you are an nvidia guy less load on the cpu

Oh ok, I assumed they removed it due to performance issues. I could be wrong. I can't remember now. Was it due to issues caused by non-NVidia users?

The reason it was removed was because Nvidia broke it on their end (with broken driver releases).

Nvidia got around to fixing it.

I hope it doesnt give me worse performance with my non Invidia card.

Same here. I can run Borderlands 2 maxed out and never see a thing wrong, but force just 1 bit of PhysX on my non-Nividia rig and I can't run it on low to med settings without lag building up.

Love the effects, hate the hit. Like a kinky girlfriend, you're getting some but at what cost?

PhysX runs CPU side also. Having an nVidia GPU however makes it run better.

Sweet! Been waiting for this, I really enjoyed the effects it added.

Don't they put in a 2nd chip just for PhysX in all their cards?

I have a micro case so there's no real chance to OC my 2500k I5 due to limited space. Don't even have the room for a 2nd video card. Not a big deal anyway. Although I like the effects of PhysX, the game kicks ass without it.

Guess I'll put back my old 9800gt in my PC as dedicated PhysX card after that patch!

It didn't hurt fps in Beta and it looks much nicer in a vid than a screenshot, just hope they cured the crashing issue it caused some people!

Yea I saw some vids of it when it was on. I hadn't updated my driver so I never knew it was implemented. Lots of neat effects :D

hopefully my 2500k @ 4.5ghz and 7970 can handle this, the thought of hacked drivers to make a dedicated physx card work and all of the potential headaches that might accompany it doesn't excite me one bit. My frames already drop below 40fps in some epic battles as it is pre patch.

I guess since Sony went with AMD for consoles, they had to go Nvidia on the pc to keep both sides happy, sucks for me though :(

You Cobalt guys still hacking like you were in PS1? Surprised that your allowed in PS2 to be honest after admitting you were cheating. Especially Painted who was the person who introduced Cobalt to hacking. Wouldn't surprise me for one second if he was cheating again now. Leopards don't change their spots.

Yea for me too. I have a GTX 680 with 4GB V-RAM though.

Hacking? I know nothing about my outfit mates being hackers... I joined this outfit in PS2, so I don't kow about its past in PS1.
But the guys seem nice and fair, not like hackers.

HA! I'd love to see the results with that card, I got a 8800GT, 9800GT and a GTX560Ti, I much rater use the 560Ti for PhysX over the 9800 especially with PS2's Forgelight engine.

Apparently, PhysX wasn't enabled in this patch.
Maybe some last minute change? Or was the source really not to be trusted?
If any SOE guy replies, that would be great!
Thanks

EDIT: Found this tweet too. Weeirrrddd.
