I would think that is a waste of card . Get youself 3 monitors & go surround . With 3 of them you "shouldn't" have to dedicate 1 to physx . I have 3 470's that way. Just get the hotdogs out to cook while gaming ... LOL !

A very small amount of games would really benefit from it. I'd do it for Batman AA. But most games, i'd run in 3 way SLI.
