Hello Everyone

I am wondering if a dedicated physX card would help me or not.

Build
- Asus rampage 4 extreme
- Intel 6 core
- Two GTX 770s in SLI

I have an extra 770 and I was wondering if I would see any improvement. I'm running at 16 X 16 right now. If I put the extra card in I would run 16X8X8. Thank you for your time.

It could help in VERY limited situations. I don't think it is worth the added heat and noise, not even factoring in any loss of PCIe lanes.

depends; if you've always turn physX up to high in some of the games that support it, you're may see an improvement in frame rate. though if given the choice, you wouldn't need anything beyond a 560.

but if you're expecting to see an improvement in none physx supported games, then the bad news is you won't. consider a tri-SLI solution there.

Triple SLI would benefit your PhysX games more than twin SLI + dedicated PhysX. That would count even at 16x8x8, which is what would happen if you installed the dedicated PhysX card anyway. You would also get higher performance in your non-PhysX games as well.
