Why are all the "negros" all gangstas what with "My gun is bigger than your gun, boi!" and start shooting at me if I rob one of them or even just point a gun at someone? They are much more dangerous than the silly police! Wasn't there racism at the time to discriminate against them owning guns?
Soo i just tried the demo benchmark on my GTX 480 alone, without PhysX and that shitty AA in 1080p i got average of 95fps (Rank A) with PhysX set to highest it was like 20fps average (GPU usage was still at fucking 50%?). Then i runned the benchmark with dedicated PhysX 275GTX, got average of like 30fps? what the fuck seriously... There is something wrong with the current drivers. So in other words, the game runs like shit with PhysX even you would have great dedicated for ShitX. Unbeliavable.
Watch out guys, there's a virus/trojan on that timer extention download! Avast is going nuts here!
Well OBVIOUSLY! It injects an executable with different code! What did you expect? The man even posted the assembly change he did if you don't trust the download.
Yes, and more, if you dont trust my patch enough you can always do it by ur self.
download any HEX editor, winhex for exmpl.
1) go to 000F5380, look for D9 56 4C, and change it to 90 90 90.
2) save file and play without timer.
Im sorry mate, but it was not the file who made avast crazy but the website maybe next time use another upload site. But the patch works great! Thanks alot mate, dont know how you know this stuff, but its briljant! Thanks again!!!
This is the first game that makes the police chase you if you break the speed limit, nice .
Correction; second. Mafia 1 had the same thing, even going so far as to give you a speed limiter choice on the car so that you CAN'T break the speed limit

Wow.
For some unspecified reason the demo won't start up when using the latest official drivers at Nvidia's website. After a couple of attempts to run the game it prompts me to install physx sdk included in the demo package which comes via Steam. There something fishy going on?
Cops are pretty mean in the game. I saw someone crash into the cop car, so they dragged him out of the car at gunpoint, laid him down on the ground and took a bribe from him, saying something in the likes of "Thanks for your contribution to my retirement fund".
One other time I beat a guy up to see the combat system...so he was down on the ground in the middle of the road. Police arrived few seconds later, got out of the car, kinda looked at him, then got back into the car and drove away. The guy was still on the ground with everyone trying to go around him if not driving him over... I wonder if it was because he was black
well, if they did it like it was back than,it is possible..first cooperation between doowop black and white singers, started at 1958, befor white people were unable to listen to black music for example and they created own white like black sound.
when the chords (famos doowop group who sings the hit shboom) came first time to preform in front of white audience, the people told them that they are not the chords cause the chords are white till they started to sing:)
sad days for america but the atmospher in the game in cool and the music is great:)
already heard little richard
So i now tried with AA on @ 1080p with physX off and got 62.4fps average. In those posted screens the AA looks like shit, in motion its much better imo.
As for the game, i love it :> Gunfights are nice, handling on cars is great aswell. Definately will buy this one.
As for the PhysX its fucking useless on the current drivers. But i must admit, the effects looks very sexy.

The version installed is a early 10.x something build of PhysX, might be what will eventually be 3.0.0 or what they call it, current SDK is 2.8.3.x
This updates later 2.7.x up to 2.8.3 builds of PhysX and is needed for Mafia 2 to function due to changes/additions with Apex I'd guess but on the other hand it does hit performance hard and it does affect all PhysX titles using those libraries.
(All of them more or less aside from older PPU titles, Apex seems to be the largest issues in terms of performance so smoke and similar like in Dark Void and Batman from what I've read.)
It can be enabled on other systems as well and isn't disabled or anything but the effects won't run (FPS is hit rather hard however.) so you don't see the proper car smoke and destruction debris, cloth effects are still enabled however such as the swaying of the coat (In the house you start, clothing wardrobe or what ti call it.)
File format is apparently some form of Zlib from what I read and might be possible to extract like say unpacking the playboy archive images (Textures are just simple .DDS) and some files are already unpacked as is.
(Which helped a lot by replacing the BIK movies, splash screens aren't affected though but easy to click trough.)
EDIT: As for the performance hit it's probably, to be more specific, tied to a increase of particles/density and number of calculations done (Batman, Dark Void and Darkest Days probably look even better though as a side effect of using the same libraries due to how PhysX works.) and accuracy of them, smoke in Dark Void already used 100K or so to function and Mafia 2's cars probably use something similar, same for destruction and other particle effects.
(Cloth is a bit simpler and can easily be handled by any system most of the time, interactions with various effects like smoke isn't due to all calculations and amount of them though at least you can set PhysX level but more advanced control would be nice.)

The problem can be in drivers, even if GPU physx is on, it will still compute on CPU.
go to the control panel and delete nvidia Psyx, than go to mafia2 folder, and install physx from there ('3rd' folder), that should help you.
The game's dialogue is fucking A - I laughed my ass off at this...
"Take me to El Greco!"
"The fuckin' painter?"
"No, the fuckin doctor you idiot!"
Has anyone managed to find all of the centerfolds? I've found 2 out of 5 so far, although it sucks that you can't look at them after you've picked them up, and they stay picked up even after you restart the demo.
Knocking off stores is hella fun, although the crime system in the game is kind of wonky. Held up the clothing store, 4 gangsters start shooting, I shoot back and proceed to hide in a corner till the wanted level goes away. I then calmly come out, grabbing a trench-coat as a souvenir, and a cop across the street sees me stealing.
Stealing? Really? What about the huge fucking massacre inside the store that happened not 30 seconds ago? Didn't have anything to do with that, I swear!
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.
i9-9900k, MSI MPG-Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon, 32GB DDR4 @ 3000, eVGA GTX 1080 DT, Samsung 970 EVO Plus nVME 1TB
I had that as well, entered a coffee shop and killed the owner with a shot to the head, took the cash register change and left just as a cop walked past outside, seems they're a bit laid back.
(Other times with car crimes or speeding they're pretty quick though.)

No it doesn't
It's the same as GTA4's way of pretending they have AA, they just blur the whole damn thing

Will try in SLI mode vs dedicated mode as a tester.
Please do, because I'm pretty sure that for someone with 2 460's in SLI turning SLI off and using the 2nd one for PhysX will yield higher framerates :E
