Hey guys.

I got a GTS 450 for free a few years ago due to warranty on my old Geforce 7800 XT and I have been using it as a dedicated Physx + multimonitor support card. I just bought a GTX 970 to replace my nearly 4 year old GTX 590 and I was wondering: Is it still worth keeping the GTS 450 as a dedicated card for Physx? Or should I just let the GTX 970 do that for now?

I would still keep the card plugged in for multi-monitor support but I am unsure if I would let it run Physx.

Thanks.

Since you already have it in your system, it seems like it would be simple to experiment with it dedicated to PhysX and not. As an owner of a GTX 780 Ti, I am well aware that even a high-end card can use some PhysX help in a game like Borderlands 2. There are certain scenes where there are a lot of PhysX effects going on where the performance can get pretty choppy. Since the card will already be installed in your system, all you need to do is dedicate it to PhysX in the Nvidia Control Panel.
