That option in-game is only available if you have an actual PhysX card in your rig.
CoX was made long before gfx cards were made with PhysX on-board 
CoH PvP SG = SuperUnion - Co-Leader - Union/Freedom
CoV PvP VG = Disruption - Co-Leader - Union/Freedom
Global = @Rent & @Rent.

Oh, that's saddening 
Considering NVidia bought Agaeia especially to incorporate the physx processor onto their cards, it's odd...the hardware is the same, and in my system, just not on a seperate card. Is there really no way to enable physx then? Even with a third party patch, driver, etc? Hope cryptic can fix that, considering it's the way physics processing is going to be.
As far as i'm aware PhysX will still work they way it should, just without the option being lit up. Change the the particle physics quality option to very high and i'm sure you'll see a difference.
I don't think Paragon studios (they own CoH now, not cryptic ) will change the way it is at present as they're probably more concerned with a sequel.

I have a GTX295. My option is also greyed out.
Can I ask you something else? Do you have any strange behaviour happening with the game? Like the not being able to have some options turned on (for example, bloom effects) without the game strobing?

Wish it were the case Mereman... as it is, it's wasted money on a card that the game has problems with.

Hi all, Forgive me if this has been asked but neither google nor this site's search tool returned any (useful) results when I looked. I upgraded recently to a lovely GTX285 graphics card, which has an on-board PhysX processor. However, despite running the latest forceware drivers (182.50) and having installed the latest PhysX software from their site, in-game, the option to enable PhysX is greyed out.
I was wondering if anyone might have an idea what I may be missing. PhysX is enabled in the Nvidia control panel and I'm running Vista 64. I've gleefully maxed out every pther graphical setting but would very much like to get CoV working 'the way it's meant to be played' (boom tisch). Anyone else have this problem? Sincere thanks in advance for any replies...unless you're a hero, in which case
