Which PhysX card would work best with my entire set-up? I'll be buying the Sapphire 6950 2GB 100312-3L, unlocking to 6970, and using it on the 16x PCI-E 2.0 slot. The nVidia PhysX GPU will be used on the 8x PCI-E 2.0 slot. Any suggestions? Considering one for about $80.
I don't think I can use my 8400GS, it's the one with an S-Video port and not the HDMI one, as a PhysX dedicated card.
Would I even need a dedicated PhysX card with the GPU I'm buying soon? The Sapphire 6950 2GB 100312-3L will be the main card i.e. connected to the monitor.

IF you want to run Nvidias Physx, then you need a Nvidia card. The latest game to support PhysX is the latest Batman. Not a huge list of games incorporate PhysX, but I will say the added effects are nice.

Thanks! Browsing through the On and Off comparison shots, it appears with it on it makes these games more atmospheric. But I'll be using the Sapphire 6950 2GB 100312-3L with the 6970 BIOS before purchasing the stand-alone PhysX card.http://physxinfo.com/data/vreview.html
Also I think it just needs to be a G92 core or newer.
I know I used my 8800GTS for PhysX and it worked great.

The GT520 will technically work, but I'd get something with more shaders than just 48. Something like the GT440 would do nicely.

Would I really need more shaders if I don't have anything connected to the ports on the PhysX card? As stated I'm buying the Sapphire 6950 2GB with the 6970 bios switch as stated. It'll be my main graphics card. I don't think I'll even buy the PhysX card until after I buy the monitor.
So Sapphire 6950/unlocked fully to 6970 will be the main card and nVidia will just be for PhysX.
Okay I looked at the program files and features with the start menu. Says I have PhysX version 9.10.0513 Should I still need a dedicated GPU for PhysX though? Asking before I install the GPU in my system specs tomorrow (hopefully it'll arrive then).

Hopefully I can explain what is going on here,
The 9800 is too slow to keep up with your newer 560 Ti card.
Your 560 Ti is able to render frames much faster then the 9800, so it has to wait for the 9800 to finish calculating the Phys X before it can display those frames. If you were to use two similar cars like two 560Ti (1x Normal GPU and 1x dedicated Phys X) You will probably see an increase in frames because both cards are able to work at similar speeds.

i got my physx working thanks to erocker's headsup on the driver i shouldnt have used, after messing with batman a bit ive decided personally you now need something with 192 plus shaders in, so im hopeing a gt640 might appear soon and have whats needed

huh strange... the system doesnt recognize the nvidia card at all, when i dont use it in the primary slot, and if i put it in the primary slot, the 6970 gets no video output (sadly no way to distinguish the post order between pcie slots in bios)
