I recently bought a new system:

Now, I do not know much about how physx works, but I am left with a Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce to just gather dust. So I was thinking of using it as a dedicated physx card but I have some questions about that since I do not know much about how it would work.

Does the GTX 980 even need (or would I even benefit?) a dedicated physx card?
Would my system be able to handle having these two cards running?
How would I go about installing the GTX 670 as a dedicated physx card.
 
Solution
No.
Simple.

The reason dedicated physx cards died out was because modern GPU's like the 980 are more than capable of running physx.
Sell the 670 and spend the money on an SSD or something.
