Yeah,
i like this site because it's not overcrowded by trash-talking "noobs".
I will post some news from german websites you probably never visit.

Note: NVIDIA borked this benchmark 
1)
Thanks to the improvements (to the death) in GeForce 177.79 it doesn't load if AA enabled
2)
With PhysX driver from 12/06/2008 benchmark tries to enable hardware PhysX which fails on G80

[Stefan]

Found a workaround to load the benchmark with current PhysX driver:

Install Metal Knight Zero
Then copy the file PhysXLoader.dll from MKZ into folder of PT Boats (coincidentially the versions match).

However, PT Boats is still restricted to CPU PhysX, i.e. no speed boost.
