After Nvidia pulled the plug on32-bit CUDA supportwith CUDA 12.0 (and later), technologies built around this platform such asPhysXsubsequently reached End Of Life. A new report fromPassMarkat X suggests that dropping legacy CUDA support extends its impact to older OpenCL code, written for 32-bit systems. This explains the lackluster performance in PassMark’s Direct Compute benchmark, part of which contains 32-bit chunks of code; likely older libraries or modules.
