GTX 480 SLI vs GTX 480 SLI + GTS250 physx with 3D vision at 1080P... Can someone test which performs
Just wondering if someone has that setup and can test if there are any improvements on the SLI setup by adding the 250.
Some games like Metro I am sure will still push the SLI setup hard when doing 3D vision at 1080p so I assume the 250 may still be worth keep it.

Very curious about this myself.
I have been very busy at work lately so recently had local computer shop replace my 2 GTX285s with 2GTX480s and asked them to leave the GTS250 card in place as dedicated PHYSX processor.
They called to tell me that after installing cards and doing benchmarking (it is not clear which benchmark) they saw and smelled smoke coming from the "PSU near the powercord". They tried another cord and same thing happened, it seemed to damage their cord!
There was no PSU shutdown (it is a Thermaltake toughpower1000watt per sig) and nothing seemed to be damaged except their powercords.
I suggested that they remove GTS250 and try again which they did with no problems.
Perhaps the GTS250 was just enough to cause their non-heavy duty power cords to heat up? It doesen't seem like a capicator blew on the PSU?
I have subsequently run the rig with overclocks in sig with no problem, maximum peak total power pulled during metro 745 watts @ wall using killawatt.
I am tempted to install the GTS250 again but so far other Physx titles like Mirror's Edge and Dark Void run Physx great without a dedicated card (about 8-10fps higher than GTX285X2 + GTS250 at same settings) of course these titles do not intensely tax the GPU for graphics like METRO2033, so METRO may still benefit from dedicated Physx.

Do you have the demo version of DarkVoid that has the built in bencharmark? I have not found a way of getting that benchmark on the full version. I believe maybe Batman and Metro are harder tests although DArkVoid actually mentions a 260 as required to select Physx High. So, maybe test with and without the GTS 250 as physx to see what happens.
I wouldn't mind NOT having to use the 250 to keep my system cooler and not stressing my PSU. :-)

here is a quote from a user "jdookie" on evga forums:
"In a single card (400 series) installation, adding a PhysX card will definitely help in PhysX enabled games.
In a multi-gpu installation (2-way or 3-way SLI), the added PhysX card is a bit of a toss up. Only when the multiple gpu's are put under extreme loads will see a difference with a dedicated PhysX card, again, only in a multi-gpu installation.
As far as installing a PhysX card, the current 400 series drives do not automatically support anything other than a 400 series card. If you install a PhysX card without modifying the 400 series driver, Windows will install a generic driver for the device. There are ways around this though.
With Windows7, you can run more than one vga driver, so you can just use the latest driver for your PhysX card model, and run that, OR you can modify your 400 series driver to work with other model cards. You would have to do a search for this file as I can't remember where I got mine from, and I have since deleted it. It's a single modified inf file that replaces the original inf file, and allows the 400 series driver to work on other models.
I tried both ways, (Windows driver vs. 400 series driver) and didn't see any difference in performance.
All of this being said, I, personally, found that the addition of a PhysX card in my particular system (2-way SLI 480's), didn't add enough performance to be worth the extra heat that the PhysX card produced, so I ended up taking it out. There aren't enough games that support PhysX to be worth having, imo. Now, if I only had one 480, that would be a different story. If that were the case, I would definitely have a PhysX card installed, no question. "
im thinking about trying to install my old 295 just to test this out. One thing that seems interesting to me is that none of the people on the net testing this set up are trying it in 3d which we all know pushes the hardware much harder than 2d. I think thats its possible most people dont see any difference because the game and settings they test under do not even stress the 480 sli set up enough. most uses are testing with batman AA which is a old game- that can be maxed out with last generations cards.
someone needs to test metro 2033 in 3d with dedicated physX card. this is the only game that really stresses these gpu's in 3d. In 2d with all settings maxxed out this game never slows down for me- so im wondering if 3d will show some improvement. really most users say that the extra heat and power is not worth it at all to add a physx card. It is very impressive how well the 480 can switch between graphics and physx- i almost never notice any slowdowns on my system at 1080p all settings maxed out in 3d.
perhaps the old series of cards are actually bottle-necking the 480 sli- maybe a 480sli combined with a 470 for physx might be a more optimal combination.

I tried a 480 GTX and an 285 GTX as dedicated PPU. It makes no difference in games, only the Physx Fluid benchmark show an improvement of 10 frames on the 300 avg. So that's a 3% improvement.
But on Batman, Metro and Just Cause there are no improvements. Sadly. It just sucks up more power.

I need to clarify this post, did you try a SINGLE 480gtx with 3d vision at 1080p and using a physx card did not help?

Some games like Metro I am sure will still push the SLI setup hard when doing 3D vision at 1080p so I assume the 250 may still be worth keep it.
