There are - Warframe and PlanetSide 2 - PhysX 3.2 for main physics layer and APEX for extra effects.
However, Warframe has mostly Turbulence particles (no CPU execution) and PlanetSide effects are disabled now, so you can't test those on CPU.
As for PhysX 3.x based games in...
It was done in several GTX 480 reviews

So, new 1.02 patch by GenL :)
http://physxinfo.com/news/942/hybrid-physx-mod-1-02-195-xx-drivers-and-win-xp-support/
works with newest 195.x GeForce drivers, and supports Win XP
Meanwhile, Official Nvidia position on hybrid ATI+NV PhysX configurations
Quality care was the cause of ban ;)
And according to
Mods (like by GenL) and stuff won't live long.
Well, that's U-Wars, MKZ, Dark Void and.. Star Tales. Support for some titles, like Borderlands, was announced about a year ago, and no news since than.
I think some other games are in the works, but PhysX support will be announced close to game release, like it was with Batman Arkham Asylum.
Meanwhile, working mod that bypass PhysX ban was released yesterday

I'm very cusious, will nvidia fight with them via driver updates ?)
Libraries for newest 2.8.3 SDK, updated .dlls for 2.8.1 SDK and changes in installation paths.

Afaik, graphics drivers are responsible for ATI blocking, not PhysX System Software. You can install older GPU drivers, and then newest PhysX drivers separately.
And ? physics is very buggy, cloth-papers get stuck in batman, their vertexes are jumping all over the screen - say thanks to decreased MaxPhysicsSubsteps value. No magic.
Experience. Unexpected, but I'm collecting and analyzing PhysX based titles for more then 2.5 years already
BTW, Alpha Prime or CoV can't support GPU PhysX a priori because only PhysX SDK 2.7.x and higher allows that, and CoV is, afair, 2.4.4 based and AP 2.5 or 2.4, I don't remember clearly
I've already contributed all released games with GPU support. Seven. It's a fact.
Unreleased - Batman: AA, Star Tales, Nurien, MKZ, U-wars, Metro 2003, Terminator Salvation, Dark Void, Darkest of Days.. maybe Nvidia will reveal some others
Alpha Prime, Auto Assault, Fallen Earth, City of...
For what reason ? That's not a mystery and not so hard to find
Released - GRAW2, Crazy Machines 2+, Warmonger, UT3 modpack, Mirror's Edge, Cryostasis, Sacred 2
Other games with PPU support (GRAW1, Cellfactor, Bet on Soldier, etc) can'not be accelerated on GPU
Other PhysX SDK based games...
Played, loved :) Combat system and smooth animation are really cool
PhysX effects looks good too, all new APEX and stuff
Composed a comparison video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vINH6Z9kqgI
GPU definitely. PPU is old (fast all chips produced sept. 2005) and not near fast as modern GPUs.
There is also no guarantee that PPU will support newest GPU optimized features, like APEX, used in latest games
I will no wonder if PPU support will be omitted from newest PhysX SDKs
Zok
Pfff.. how do you think PhysX engine works ?
You playing Mirror's Edge with GPU physics - character controller, ragdolls are running on CPU
Cloth banners, smoke, particles are simulated on GPU
You playing Warmonger - ragdolls, large rigid body debris - CPU side
Ash, small fragments and...
So, APEX is close for releasy finally (it was announced in Nov 2007 by Ageia firstly)

Yep)
Text is copy-past from Ageia PhysX PPU page, and games list - from PhysX Developers page)
I dunno why Nvidia haven't updated this page for a couple of months, cos it's confusing)
Have you tried this trick ?

Looks like GPU physX won't work with common modpack so easy)
The end of this story.
"Now that we know why having a Unix dedicated server is important to online gaming, why won't there be a Unix dedicated server for UT3 anytime soon? As I first began to research this I was almost positive that PhsyX might be the legal holdup. I was quite sure that there...
Licensing problems - it's nonsense. PhysX SDK has free licence under Windows/Linux.. I can download PhysX SDK for Linux and use it's, and Epic can't ?.. don't make me laugh :D
