GTX 280 x 2 + 9800 GTX+ = PhysX

[cenue]

I am currently in the process of building a new computer. I have decided to go with the Core i7 processor on an ASrock X58 Supercomputer motherboard. I have 6 GB of DDR3-1600 OCZ XMP RAM. My machine is powered by a BFG Tech EX series 1200 watt PSU. I have been looking over all of the different graphics cards for weeks now and I think I have decided upon the Nividia GTX 280 by BFG. I would like to run two of these cards in SLI mode, which then brings me to my question. In order to take advantage of PhysX supported games, would I be able to include a Nividia 9800 GTX+ in my build to process the physics while my GTX 280 processed the graphics, and if so, how would I go about doing this most effectively?

you might as well just use an 8800GT, it's single slot and will do just fine for physx

I had heard they were good also but I always purchase from Newegg and this particular card is not listed on their site. Would you know of another place to get one?

Try the 9800GT. It's the same as at 8800GT except a smaller die and slightly faster.

Or just get a cheap 9600GT...pretty decent too
