I am currently running 2 GTX 970s in SLI and plan to upgrade to a GTX 1080 as soon as they become available at prices closer to their MSRP. I will be reusing the 970s in future planned builds so I don't want to sell them, but won't be doing those builds for a few months so they'll be sitting around collecting dust unless I find something to do with them. I looked into the idea of using one of them as a dedicated PhysX card but one thing I was curious about but didn't see addressed anywhere (which I should maybe take as a sign): is it possible to run two cards in SLI as dedicated PhysX cards? Which is to say, can I have the 1080 in the x16 slot working as the dedicated graphics card and have the two 970s in the x8 and x4 slots connected with an SLI bridge doing dedicated PhysX? If anyone knows, I'd really love to hear.
Thanks in advance.
