Probably not, for a couple of reasons. Most recently, nVIDIA has completely removed all PhysX capabilities when the drivers detect a non-NVIDIA graphics card installed. There's a series of hacks you can apply in Windows 7 (maybe it works in XP as well) to bypass this, but you have to use older drivers and really, it's a pain in the ass. Since you're using both your PCI-e 16x slots, I'm guessing you'd be picking up an older PPU? I think it's more of a headache than it's worth, considering there's what, one game worth playing with PhysX on (Batman)? Just my $0.02.
