3D Surround with Different GPU's? Using PhysX card?
Hey,

I will soon be buying an EVGA GTX 480 SC and will be using my current GTX 260 as a dedicated physX card.

I have noticed that when using a dedicated physX card, you can use up to four monitors (Two two card)

This has made me wonder if maybe its possible to use this configuration for 3D surround?

It says that you need an SLI config of cards between the 260 and the 480, and in my opinion a 480 would have just as much / more processing power as 260's in SLI, so this setup should be able to cope with it?

Am I onto something? Or are setups like this one disabled by the drivers???

Thanks
Nick
