PhysX

[BloodyBonzai]

It would be awesome and extremely helpful if Tom's Hardware did an article on PhysX cards. For example, what is the best PhysX card without overdoing it. With benchmarks and such of various cards from the GTX 250s up through the GTX 480s. Might be a bit tedious with all sorts of variations, but break it up into parts. This type of testing would be very appreciated.

During an EVGA GTX 275 Co-op PhysX Edition review, using a GTX 280 for PhysX instead of a GTS 250 (both with a GTX 275 as the main GPU) did not really show much of a performance boost, around 5% on average.

Read this article on EVGA website about adding a GT 240 for Physx with a GTX 480 they claim a 20% boost.
