I want to know if i can use another card for physx without slowing my main card down. Like right now i think it runs at 16x. Would adding an other card make both cards run at 8x speeds?

My specs:
fx4100 @ 4.4ghz
7850 2gb
asrock 970 extreme3
128gb ocz vector
1tb hard drive
650w psu

My physX card would be a gtx 260

unfortunately, nvidia drivers no longer allow physx support in sync with an amd card. And to answer your question- no it would only share the bandwidth 8x-8x when in crossfire mode.

650w is enough to run 3xhd7850 so yeah it should be enough regardless of what nvidia card you plan on using
