Can't use PhysX with AMD card... could use it before...

[PATENT]

I got RX 580 few days ago, after launching borderlands 2 I could enable physX, I installed newer version of drivers and now physx option is set to OFF in every game and I can't change it. I heard nvidia is blocking access to physx when PC detects you have AMD card... (a**holes). Is there any way to bypass this?

PhysX isn't really used on any games anyway now-a-days, so you're not missing out on anything.

It's a tech owned by nvidia, you didn't have it working before with an AMD card so you won't get it working now.

With that said, there probably is some work around to simulate it, but, if it's worth the hassle is another matter entirely.

Physx and gameworks features, while minor, is one reason I tend to recommend nvidia over AMD for GPU's, the only advantage of going with an AMD GPU is freesync costs less than gsync at this point.

i know but I could enable physx in borderlands 2 two days ago, after reinstalling drivers option is grey and set to off, when it was ON it was working just like on gtx 970

on the borderlands 2 launcher go to the settings. turn auto detect settings off. scroll down and you should be able to turn on physx.

the downside is the physx stuff will be rendered by the cpu, not the gpu.

For one, that must have been a really old version of PhysX from before when NVIDIA MBO'ed Agea. It is a NVIDIA exclusive feature in terms of Hardware level physics.
