It's gonna be over the next few weeks. No worries though. Not much support for GPU acceleration of PhysX yet. Only UT3 and 3DMark Vantage, and you can't play 3DMark Vantage.

Using the attached inf tested and working fine on a Gainward Bliss 9600GT 512 using Vista Ultimate X64. I think the one Gen included will also work with 32 bit Vista.

If you are uncomfortable with the modded inf files you can wait for the official release

That modified inf is only for the Forceware, isn't it?

Yes

I'm not sure how this Physx works. Do you need to install PhysX separately to get the acceleration, or it will be included in the Forceware?

On the link in my first post you will see 4 Forceware drivers and also the PhysX driver below them. You install the Forceware driver then the PhysiX driver

You need the new 177.39 ForceWare driver PLUS the PhysX driver. Then only can applications that support GPU acceleration of PhysX run their physics calculations on the GPU itself.

A lot of hassle for minimal effect.

Even if i wanted to test, my 7 days old Silverstone ST56F is dead and there are currently no stock

Plus my Gainward 9600GT is exhibiting some random strange problem which means I might need to RMA it
