How do you acsess the agia bonuss lab?

[PIGSgrame]

You must have an AGEIA PhysX Card. GeForce cards with PhysX capabilities are not detected at the moment. I cannot tell for sure whether it's on nVidia's or the CM developer's side to provide a fix, but it is possible that after a nVidia PhysX driver update, all owners of a newer GeForce card have access to the AGEIA lab.

Thanks, but, how do you find out your graphics card?

[PIGSgrame]

In the Windows Start menu, click Run..., then enter devmgmt.msc - you will see your video adapters there.

Note that, as far as I know, AGEIA PhysX cards are alwys supplementary cards which cannot be used as the primary video adapter. So I think you would know if you had an AGEIA card, as such a card must be bought and installed by yourself.

does an nvidia GeForce 8600 have physx support?

[PIGSgrame]

Yes, it has, at least it will have when the drivers are fully ready. But the game will not yet detect it as a card which is "allowed" to access the PhysX lab (I have not tested this, but it was reported on the Steam forum). As I wrote above, we will have to wait for either a game or a PhysX driver update.

Ok. *sighs*

why do you need the card anyway?

[PIGSgrame]

why do you need the card anyway?The bonus lab makes use of a few special effects that are only possible with PhysX and thus, the experiments would not work with a non-compatible graphics card. At least this is the offical explanation and everything I know about this issue.
