Hey guys, im looking to pick up a 3d vision package soon, and a 480.
Heres the question.
Right now i have a gtx295, and I was wondering if I could get a 480, and also run the 295 as a physx card or a secondary card.
I know obviously it wont go in sli with the 480 because it has to be 2 identical cards right? I was just wandering if I could still use the 295 in some way.
What do you all suggest I do to finally get into the 3d world?

You definitely cannot SLI them. You probably could use the 295 as a PhysX card, but it would be total overkill. My inclination is to think that it would at best only use one of the 2 cores for PhysX, I'm not sure there's any such thing as "multi-core" PhysX, but I could be wrong.
Best advice is to sell the 295 while it's still worth something. You should get a nice return out of it which you can then put into a second 480 or a 9800 or something more appropriate for PhysX.
