6870 and GTX 260 Physx?

[strick8]

I’m replacing my XFX GTX 260 with a SAPPHIRE FleX HD 6870. I’m doing this for DirectX 11 and multi-monitor Eyefinity. What I want to know is can I keep the GTX 260 card in the system for PhysX effects? If so how hard is it to run this configuration?

Here are my system specs.

You will need hacked/patched nvidia and nvidia physx drivers to run both those cards on that mobo.
You need to look for article that say ATI and PhysX.
It's quite a tiresome process and really fun when it works , but then updating the drivers again becomes a pain.

Here are a few
