Secondary Monitors on Dedicated PhysX Card?

All over the internet, everyone says that if you have your secondary Nvidia GPU dedicated to PhysX, The monitors outputs wont works since the GPU is only being used for PhysX Calculations.

This led me to not use the ports on said card.

I have a HP2311x with 1 HDMI, DVI and VGA and an older HPw2207 a friend gave me with only VGA and DVI. My GTX 970 only has one DVI port and Im not going to use HDMI, Yuck

Well, I decided to plug the w2207 into the card that is currently being dedicated to physX and Voila, it works.

So...is there any official documentation on what works and what doesnt? According to everything ive found on the internet, this shouldnt work... so Im somewhat confused....

Am I missing something?????

Ive looked everywhere for official Nvidia documentation or a informed individuals post but no dice....

Play a GPU accelerated PhysX game and enable the "PhysX Visual Indicator" in your Nvidia Control Panel (3D Settings in the top menu bar). That will tell you if you are using your extra card for PhysX on both monitors, or just graphics on the second monitor.

Launched Arkham Asylum and the second monitor continued to work, GPU2 showed GPU usage during PhysX effects, and the PhysX overlay showed GPU

Looks good then. You seem to be running both a monitor and dedicated PhysX on your secondary card.

THIS is exactly the anweser and question i was looking for !
Thanks a lot.. now i test it with G-Sync, because i have 3 G-Sync monitors but only 2 Display Ports on my main card.
So my question was if i can use my older graphic card as a physx card and use this display port for my 3rd g sync monitor.
