Hi
I'm getting a new graphics card soon the GTX 670Ti and maybe a GTX 460 NVIDIA card but before I get a GTX 460 I've just a few questions about NVIDIA physx and the use of 2 cards.

1. Can I use a GTX 460 card for physx and the GTX 670Ti for graphics in DBP or would this depend on the drivers.

2. Would there be any advantage to this, like higher frame rate and/or faster physics or even better both.

3. Has anyone else got a mix of NVIDIA cards if so what experiences have you had good or bad.

As far as I'm aware, at least it's the case with AMD graphics cards, you can only use SLI with graphics cards from the same family.

You can use another GPU in your motherboard but you don't connect them with a SLI bridge,you just set the secondary GPU for PhysX. You can combine any GPU's together. But with the power of the 600 series, I don't think you need a second GPU just for that.
