is x4 enough bandwidth for physx? can i use my x4 slot thats open ended on my gigabyte EX58-ud4p for physx? im running tril 280's for video. Id like to drive three monitors so if i stick another card in that slot i can do that and use that card as a dedicated physx card was considering a 9600gso for this. Would that work? also does anyone know if i use that x4 slot is that stealing bandwidth from one of my other video board slots?

Short answer: yes
Long answer: Yessssssssssssssssssssssss
No, you aren't losing bandwidth by using that slot.
A 9600 would work fine, so would an 8600.
Since PhysX isn't a huge bandwidth hogging technology, an 8600 would perform just as well as a 9600. The only reason to use a 9600 would be if you already have a spare on sitting around.
