Can I use a ATI radeon 4870 x2 for video and a different card all together for physics?

ATI cards don't support PhysX, and neither should you.

Don't pay for physx, it's pretty much a big scam by Nvidia.

 

They have the audacity to say that people shouldn't go crazy over DX11, while at the same time they're telling people to get crazy over a bunch of physics algorithms that no one needs (I seem to remember the excellent physics of Crysis Warhead working perfectly fine on my ATI card.)
