I recently was fiddling with a bunch of settings to see if I could stop getting the BSOD whenever I would watch flash videos. One of the settings that I disabled was PhysX GPU acceleration.

I did not realize PhysX GPU acceleration was disabled; I attempted to play Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (2010). The game played choppy at certain points so I went on the net to look for answers. Unable to find an answer and thinking of uninstalling it I suddenly remembered, I recently turned off PhysX GPU acceleration.

Once I enabling PhysX GPU acceleration, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (2010) seem to play a little bit better!.?! This game needs a patch.
