Some news from nvidia (had to translate into english):
We (nvidia) were able to reproduce the problem and
we are working on a solution together with autodesk.

...and what? Problem is solved?

No, xsisupport stated the problem is being (actively) investigated...
And the confirmation of that fact basically is all we can hope for at the moment!

Might just as well be fixed in SI2011.5, who knows? (Wishful thinking

)

Not to drag this up unnecessarily, merely to put it to rest: It looks like the "CUDA acceleration for PhysX RDB" isn't mentioned in the "fix list" for SI2011.5, while it doesn't appear in the "known issues" list either. If its not fixed and not an issue, does that mean Softimage has given up on this feature altogether? The status of this issue has become slightly unclear to me...

Yes: the topic that refuses to die...

While looking at the features page for SI2012 I find the somewhat shocking assertion that you can

Quote:

Leverage NVIDIA® CUDA enabled GPUs for even faster performance

Does this mean this will finally work in SI2012 or is this just a case of "oops, we did it again"?
(And yes, I admit, I lost the will to once again test it myself... (-|

)

Oh come on Hirazi! I was counting on you to confirm or discredit this

You have the experience to determine the truth /:)

It's a logged issue, open issue.
