While installing this driver:

• "Download Accelerator" utilities should be disabled when downloading any drivers.
  
• Do not run virus protection software in the background while installing the drivers. This prevents the driver from configuring itself properly.

Just finish play mirrors edge for 15 min and don't see any performance increase over previous physx version. I get the same steady 62fps and both my GPU temps are low "65c" which looks like the game runs like cake on my system. Compare to Fear 2 which I get 135 or more fps and my top cards get way to hot and reaches 90c and im woking on that temps issue which is off topic here.

I also try Cryostasis demo which seems to be the same like previous physx drivers again.
This driver could be good for the latest physx games which I don't have yet.
