Just had another "holy shit that's awesome" moment.
Knocked off the clothing store cleanly, drove away, no wanted level.

About 5 minutes later I had looped around the block and ended up at the same place. I walk in, and the clerk is talking with the cops.

"Can you describe what the perp looked liked ma'am?"
"I don't know, he had a gun."
short pause
"Actually, it looked a lot like that guy over there! It's him officer, right there!"

Cops drew their guns and arrested me right on the spot. If that ain't epic, I don't know what is. Very Happy


I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

I have found that for YouTube, 100mb/minute @ x264 for 720p is quite good. For 1080p you need at least double.

Argh, curse my memory. I read something a while back, when people were whining about PhysX being locked out (and then fixed again Laughing) on ATi cards, but someone put up a really nice article about Havok and HW-acceleration. The gist of it was that Havok charges a license to run their physics engine on GPU rather than CPU, and AMD weren't willing to buy.


... though it could well have been Havok FX they were talking about, or just BSing Very Happy

That must've been bullshit, because both NVIDIA and ATI had demos of it running on the GPU, going as far back as 2006. Then in 2007 Intel buys Havok and Havok FX is never heard of again. Pricks

Just for the record, Havok does have some their stuff working using OpenCL, like Havok Cloth and Destruction (which is one of the videos you linked). More importantly, AMD/ATI is involved with that as well. They're just not far along enough to really go big with it. Apparently though, they are able to switch between CPU and GPU on the fly, which is a good thing because the GPU isn't ideal for *everything* Smile


I like how everyone points at NVIDIA for being "innovative" and shit, but it's ATI who are trying (and have been for years) to get shit like physics into an open standard for ages Sad

The game runs very smoothly without PhysX. The fire fights are nice but the driving feels like crap. Overall it seems like a pretty cool game. Hopefully it gets released soon because I start classes on the 27th!!! And I wont have any time for play! Sad

It still needs Steam to run so what's the point exactly trying to download it from somewhere else.

I've played for a bit now and I must say some of the features are great, while it might lack in other areas.
Especially the fact you cant wound people, like shooting them in the leg etc, is quite annoying to me. Shoot them in the leg and they die.
Yet some of the death animations are pretty neat - For example; I shot a guy in the chest, he fell to his knees with his hand over the wound and collapsed.

Another thing is the city, I find it to be pretty darn good. As mentioned before, rob a shop and you can get recognized. Also I saw the police chasing some guy for a while, he jumped over fences etc, Then the cops opened fire and it changed into a shootout. Was pretty awesome.

I thought I made it clear already that even the download from nzone needs Steam. Or why else would it come packed with Steam Setup.exe and SteamService.exe.

Yeah, the game has it's ups and downs. It will be a great game despite it's flaws (and there are a few noticeable), but probably not memorable like the 1st.

"Figured out why I was having crappy physx performance. It's another game where you have to use the provided physx.

1) Uninstall your physx driver
2) Go into C:\Steam\steamapps\common\mafia ii - public demo\3rd
3) Install the physx driver that is in that folder

I ran the benchmark again and where I was getting low teen fps and twenties i'm now in high 30s and 40s.

"I just tried the "uninstall PhysX/reinstall from Mafia 2 PhysX driver" and got a pretty significant improvement. With PhysX on High before (1920x1200, no AA, all else maxed) I was getting 20-23 FPS average in the benchmark. After installing the Mafia 2 PhysX driver I'm getting 35-40 FPS average with PhysX on High.""

With all due respect , not everyone have the time or the patience to go through almost 70 pages to find the answer they are looking for. I know i don't

Granted , the demo came out today so logically the answer should be in the last 10 pages or so but sometimes it's not the case. Like , let's say someone want to know something about Dragon Age. I for one wouldn't go through 187 pages to find what i'm looking for. Now of course there is the search function but sometimes it's not precise enough.

Just my 2 cents Smile

Uninstalling PhysX drivers and reinstalling them from Mafia II folder actually fucking works Very Happy Runned the benchmark again and got average of 39.2 fps in benchmark on a single GTX 480. And with Dedicated 275GTX i get 53.2fps. GTX 480 Alone runs this without hiccups INGAME (Shooting part was absolutely fluid) with APEX on high, no need to get dedicated card. But oh well i got this 275GTX for 80 euros so it was a steal.

Tell me what you do ok?

I must first uninstall physx drivers, and then install this from MAFIA 2?
Or just only reinstall this from MAFIA 2? Without uninstalling first from control panel.
And where are there drivers physx from MAFIA 2, can you give me a folder name? C:\STEAM\? or other? PLEase answer , what i must to do

Can you try without physx\medium physx\high physx? Is there much difference between medium and high with those new drivers?

So i am happy that this works for you:) Smile

I try this demo tommorow , cause dont have much time today. Girl and other business;)
And what you think what fps i will be have on Apex high or medium , with this reinstalled physx drivers on gtx 470?


And listen this:
My friend on GTX 285 got average FPS: 45 on APEX HIGH! one single gtx 285 after reinstalling this physx drivers, get 45 !! So i think that i will be much better.
Unbelievable what drivers CAN do !
Before reinstalling he got 12 fps.

I think that this guys missed something most important in this REQ in MAFIA 2 DEMO!
They dont wrote : Install new physx Sofware !
