Two video cards & two monitors

[RushFan]

I am currently running two 1080p monitors off a single 4GB 670GTX. I usually game solely on the right monitor (1080p) and have something going in the left monitor like MLB.TV or Live TV via Windows Media Center and my USB tuner.

I have a 480GTX in the basement collecting dust and was wondering if I could put it in so the 670 drives the right monitor and the 480 drives the left monitor. Is this possible or am I wasting my time? Would I get a PHYSX boost? I have a 1KW power supply so power is not an issue.

Yes and yes. Physx boost in those select games yes.
Get more monitors now!

In the nvidia control panel you can set it so the 480 is a dedicated PHYSX card. You can also tamper with the monitor settings there too.

Installed. Seems to work fine. I can't really see any difference, but I'm betting I get a few extra frames.

Does the case temp go up a lot?
