I know there are benefits to having a separate graphics card for dedicated physX processing... I have a few questions though.
First and foremost, does a board supporting Crossfire allow for 2 nVidia cards to have one as PhysX?
Second... What would the performance hit (if any) be like for using it on my board? I have 2 PCIe full length slots. If i use just one card, its at x16 bandwidth. If i have 2 cards in there, then they both run at x8. Do nVidia cards even work on a x8 slot? My main card is a GTX260, core 216. My secondary card if i use one will be an 8800GT.
Would I just be better off sticking with my single GTX260 with physX enabled?
Cheers.
