Does Nvidia need system software PhysX?
PhysX System Software – If you are into gaming, you may need to install this for some games to run. If you never play games, you do not need this. It checks online to find new drivers, can optimize games so that they run better on your PC, and video broadcasting options.
What is Nvidia PhysX used for?
PhysX is a scalable multi-platform game physics solution supporting a wide range of devices, from smartphones to high-end multicore CPUs and GPUs. PhysX is already integrated into some of the most popular game engines, including Unreal Engine (versions 3 and 4), Unity3D, and Stingray. New!
Should I use GPU or CPU for PhysX?
With AA enabled, running physics on a GPU will generally be much faster than running physics on a CPU when AA is enabled. PhysX running on a dedicated GPU allows offloading the PhysX processing from the GPU used for standard graphics rendering, resulting in an optimal usage of processing capabilities in a system.
What is Nvidia PhysX on my computer?
PhysX is a proprietary realtime physics engine middleware SDK. Video games supporting hardware acceleration by PhysX can be accelerated by either a PhysX PPU or a CUDA-enabled GeForce GPU offloading physics calculations from the CPU, allowing it to perform other tasks instead.
Is it OK to uninstall Nvidia PhysX?
NVIDIA PhysX cannot be uninstalled due to many other problems. An incomplete uninstallation of NVIDIA PhysX may also cause many problems. So, it’s really important to completely uninstall NVIDIA PhysX and remove all of its files.
What happens if I delete Nvidia PhysX?
Splendid. No. It was installed by a game you have. If you uninstall it the game will give errors and you will not be able to run it.

Why do I have Nvidia PhysX with AMD card?
Nope. The PhysX software won’t run on AMD GPUs or even on CPUs, just on nVidia GPUs. It’s supposed to offload some of the CPU’s workload onto a secondary GPU (or a PPU, if you have one of the really old Ageia cards)>. Like WillJackman said, it was probably installed by a game (i.e. Unreal Engine v3.
Does DDU remove PhysX?
DDU does wipe Motherboard Chipset & GPU Drivers, based on those brands, so please understand this.

Location of AMDKMPFD driver: With some AMD GPU drivers, it does replace the PCI Express root complex even on Intel based motherboard. It is why this option to remove it exist. It is optional because from what our friend DM789 tested, it could cause problem with an AMD based chipset system.
Should I use DDU when switching Gpus?
yeah running DDU makes the switch least likely to have driver issues. Some will say since your still using an AMD card all is fine but in my experience running DDU is wise when doing a GPU upgrade of any sort. Remember they have installing new card option in DDU as well, use it.
Does DDU uninstall CPU drivers?
Yes, you much. DDU removes the AMD chipset drivers as well when removing the AMD GPU drivers.
What removes DDU?
A: Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a driver removal tool that can help you completely remove AMD (ATI), NVIDIA and Intel graphics drivers, Realtek audio driver from your system, without leaving leftovers behind (such as registry keys, folders, files, driver store).

Can I have Nvidia and AMD drivers at the same time?
From my experience, yes, it’s possible. Avoid installing AMD drivers when you have Nvidia graphics card installed; install AMD drivers with AMD graphics card installed, and do the same for your Nvidia graphics card.
