I am currently running a Radeon 5830 and finally looking to upgrade. Currently thinking of purchasing a R9 280x(or a R9 290x once newer versions hit the market). My main question revolves around if it is possible to run a dedicated physx card and would I notice any major side effects. If it can be done, I am looking at a 650 Ti Boost as an option.

Last I heard the Hybrid Physx setups where not working very well anymore. The last time I ran Hybrid was with a 5770 and GTX 480 I believe, after that I have been unable to get it working correctly, about 6 months ago I stopped caring anyways as PhysX is sure to slowly die off with the new consoles being AMD based for GPU.

To be honest though, in recent months I disable PhysX if possible, even running Nvidia cards, not worth the performance hit to me.

Thanks for the reply, will just get the 280x(or an on sale 7970) and go from there.
