2nd Card any benefit

I'm currently running a 2gb GTX 560, but I have a 430GT collecting dust in my spare parts bin. Would I see any real benefit from throwing the 430 in my machine and passing PhysX off to it?

Only if you use GPU accellerated PhysX games often.

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity erocker... The 560 is probably stout enough by itself for my needs ATM, maybe I'll use the 430 for a HTPC
