As some of you may have heard a certain set of drivers have made their way onto the net that enable PhysX support for some current generation Nvidia GPUs. These have been kind of hard to get hold of with most links leading to corrupt files on far away and painfully slow FTP servers. I've put the drivers on our server in order to make them easily available to anyone who wants to try them out.
A reminder: These are leaked beta drivers and I cannot be held responsible if they hose your system, make you lose your uber leet score in counter-strike, cause your new puppy to spontaneously burst into flames, cause an inter-dimensional rift, etc.

This combination of drivers should enable Geforce accelerated PhysX support on all G92 and GT2XX cards. Support for older G80 cards is said to be coming in a future driver release.
[EDIT: Apparently these drivers only support the 9800GTX, 9800GTX+, and GT2XX 'out of the box' as it were. If you want to use them with older G92 based cards you'll need to modify the .inf]
Information on exactly what PhysX titles are currently supported seems sketchy at best at the moment. As of this post I know that it works for 3DMark Vantage (ugh!) and Unreal Tourney 2K3 (with PhysX patch).
Oh, and please spare us any lectures in this thread about how you don't use 'leaked' drivers, yadda yadda yadda. Some of us do like to 'live on the edge' and try new things - if you're not one of them you probably shouldn't be visiting [H]ard|OCP in the first place.
