I have a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming. I also have a GTS 450 from my kid's PC and I want to make this one a dedicated PhysX card.
It is worth it or 450 is to slow for PhysX and is better to keep it on GTX 970 GPU?
Also, the first PCI-E will still work at 16x?
I never tried 2 video cards before and I don't know much about.

And another thing - this is my MB. It will work?

Remember, if the dedicated PhysX card is too slow for your main card, it would just hurt your performance anyways.

a 450 is most likely going to hurt it. Theres a pretty big difference between using a 650 and a 450 as a physx card

I mean I can kind of relate, I had a 770 and tried using a 640 I had lying around, and it worked like crap. I did however borrow my buddies 660 and it made a significant difference.
