Unless someone intends to play certain older games like Borderlands 2 and Mirror's Edge a lot then support for the 32 bit version of PhysX getting dropped will have minimal impact. It's still a shame though and does make the 4090 an even better GPU than it already was with it being the best one to support that. People who got one of those at MSRP within a few months of it coming out made a damn good purchase since it's gonna age extremely well with it still being the clear 2nd best GPU. Hopefully fans are able to create a workaround for those older games since I don't really feel like putting in a secondary GPU just for those effects.

I am hearing they are looking for work around, like software updates or something like that. The GPUs are powerful enough so they should be able to achieve the same things. I hope they find a way to bring back PhyX in some sort of form.

PhysX is still a thing, exclusive effects just aren't really implemented any more which is for the best I'd say even discounting this recent compatibility issue. Ray tracing and then path tracing was Nvidia exclusive for a period but that was due to AMD being very behind with the tech so now that they're catching up a lot will increasingly be able to utilize it which is much better than only one GPU brand being able to have certain visual features.
