760 sli and 560ti dedicated to physics is it viable?

[res33]

Hi my current build is

ASUS sabertooth x58
I7 970
6gig Dominator
EVGA 560ti
GT 430 dedicated to physic
250 ssd
h50 cooler
1000wt psu
NZXT Case

I was planning on updating my video Card. I'm want to sli the 760 and use the 560ti but i don't know if that's viable. What are your guys opinion? Thanks

Its pointless, its supported in 20 games, outside that it would just be sitting there. Plus two 760's are more than capable of a bit of Physx, you wont see a difference.

Yep, definitely. If you have three available slots for SLI and PhysX, with good case airflow and a quality PSU, up in the 900+ watts range, then it should work well. All you need is one GPU-accelerated PhysX game that you play regularly to make it worthwhile. The 560 Ti will compliment the 760 SLI setup nicely. You will see a nice bump in framerates in PhysX games when a lot of effects are in use. Of course, you might need to experiment a bit, and you can always remove the 560 Ti if things don't work out the way you want.

First, just to be sure, what PhysX games do you intend to play?
