Hi all,
I ordered a GTX 970 that should arrive next week.

I've seen articles about using a 2nd gtx card for PHYSX. Is this a recommended solution? Can a low end GTX be used for this, or does it have to be a card capable of SLI with the 970?
 
Solution
If you already have an old nvidia gpu that support physx, you are fine.
If you only got a GTX 970 now, i don't suggest you should get a new gpu just to get a dedicated physx card.
Your motherboard is fine to run physx.
It's optional and while it does improve fps I wouldn't go out and buy another card just for physX. As far back as a gtx480 can be effectively used as a physX card but of course if you have a 660 or 670 those would handle the physX better. You might see around 5-10 fps difference In Games that use physX.
