I did some googling but was unable to find all the answers I needed

1. If I add a physx card will my main card run at 8x as it would in a sli setup?

My motherboard is a 750i and does not have dual 16x sli

2. From the research I gathered the minimum would be probably an 8600gt for dedicated physx, true?

3. Is it worth it?


I appreciate all help, I am trying my best to build a simple yet solid gaming PC!
 
Not sure about that particular motherboard, but it may be possible to run the cards in 16x/4x instead of 8x/8x. Using the 4x slot for the PhysX card would probably be enough. If it's PCIe 2.0 we're talking about, it shouldn't matter much either way.

Alternatively you could get a traditional PPU, they only use up either a PCI slot or a PCIe 1x slot.
 
Thanks for the reply, do you think its worth running a dedicated physx card?
 
The first question I would ask is "What games do you play that would benefit from PhsyX?"
 
Good question, I dunno I play pretty much every new PC game as it comes out, I really am unsure what games benefit from dedicated physx, I assumed all games would benefit from this.
