the GTS 250 is probably there for physx only. that would be the most logical use of it though its a waste as dual 295's can handle physx without the help of that crummy card.

well thats what i thought but was not to sure
 


LOL that is to test the psu and they are not in sli the middle card is there to load the psu. Only two cards are even linked since each one is a dual gpu making quad sli while the third card is useless unless you are running fold & home.
