NVIDIA slipped in an update to the PhysX System software, version 8.11.18. The piece of software serves as a backbone to the PhysX API, and is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit variants of Windows XP and Windows Vista. It provides hardware acceleration of PhysX with Ageia PhysX cards and graphics accelerators based on the NVIDIA GeForce 8 series, GeForce 9 series (with at least 256 MB of memory) and GeForce GTX 200 series. The software has been signed on 18 November, and is yet to replace version 8.10.29 from NVIDIA's software download portal.

I can't show any benches because I've stopped once one of my lanes went dead on this board. But, with Fallout 3, I haven't had a lock-up on my system due to having it up all the way. I would get it when I went into some place small and detailed. Not anymore. I have UT 3. I'll try it later. But Fallout 3 is smooth now with everything cranked up.

DMC4, Farcry2 (I think) UT3, there's a bunch these days.

On another topic has anyone tested these yet or am I going to be the guinea pig?

Actually lost about a couple dozen points, well within the margin of error though.
