Just wondering, when I upgrade my video card would I be able to have my new one and my gtx580 installed? It's a great card and nothing is wrong with it yet, but I'll be moving it into my new build to save money off the bat so eventually it'll need to be replaced. Would I have to get another gtx580 to be able to run them both or do different video cards play well together?
I have a GTX580 1.5gb card now. Could I pair it up with anything other than another of the exact same card?

Well when you upgrade to a different card, what you thinking (I'm assuming) is that you want to dual both cards up... "SLI" Dual graphics. SLI only works with the exact same chipset, example two 580's... or two 760's. It will NOT work when you buy a 760 and try to SLI it with a 580. Simply won't work.
And what I was saying as it would become a physX card .. is some games have Nvidia's special effects called "PhysX" it adds... well more physics to select games.
In the Nvidia control panel you can setup that exact card to deal with JUST the physx rendering. Nothing else... So basicly, if your playing BF4(Does not use PhysX)... it theoretically is a paperweight and is hogging up more power

What does that mean and is it better than having my 580 become a paperweight? I bet I could play pretty much any game on it at pretty high settings for another year at least. But i'd hate for it to start to act as the bottleneck of my new build.
