EVGA GTX295 and adding an MSI8600GTS for PHYSX
I have an MSI 8600GTS lying around my house does anyone here think there is any benefits from actually installing this card with the GTX295?
I really want to know if there will be more to gain with regards to Physx than just the use of the GTX295 thanks in advance for any input.

You cannot use an 8600 GTS with the GTX 295 as they are two different cards. You can only SLI the same two cards: for example, two 9800 GT cards. They don't have to be the same brand though.

Re: EVGA GTX295 and adding an MSI8600GTS for PHYSX
I asked in anotehr thread...but I will ask here too!
Ok question from me. I have the 295, and a spare 8800 GTX. Could I use the 8800 GTX card as a physX card? Also I only have a x38 crossfire motherboard?

This video talks about the Evga SLI classified with Nvidia latest drivers you can have dedicated physics. Like for Ex. 3X GTX285's with another dedicated gpu for physics.
