Nvidia GFX Question, Assistance Required.

The built-in PhysX on the nVidia cards is not supported by CoH. Although the setup is definitely possible, it's useless when it comes to CoH as they only support the original Ageia card.
We'll see....
Thank you for the answer, but do you know if I will need a bigger power supply?
Without the actual specs of the PSU I can't give you a definitive answer however, I don't see why you couldn't. Generally it's recommended at least 550W for running dual cards.
Also just in case "support" is misunderstood in my previous post (Not by you, but someone else who might be looking for this information)....It's not that CoH won't provide support for nVidia's PhysX (As in technical support). The game doesn't recognize nVidia's PhysX at all. Therefore PhysX will not work with this type of setup in CoH. 
We'll see....

Does that look good enough?
I am really hoping I dont have to buy another power supply.
Is that enough to run the 260 and other, not SLI.

We'll see....
thanks
turns out I have another question?
Will I need both drivers? Or just the higher?
Not having tried this personally, from what I understand you would need drivers for each. Some motherboards also require you to set some SLi function to enabled, even if you're not running SLi. This part I'll have to pass on to someone else for an answer, sorry!
We'll see....
Err do you know of a reputable driver sweeper software or website to download driver sweeper for Win 7?
thanks again
My current system as it stands is:
Processor: i5
OS: Win 7 64bit
RAM: 4 Gigs
GFX: Nvidia 260
Power: 800 Watts
Mobo: Asus
Case: Antec Nine Hundred Two
Now, I bought a Geforce GTX 295, What I want to do is this.
I want to make my 260 my dedicated PhysX card, and have my new 295 be my dedicated gfx card.
Can I do that? And... Does my power supply need to be bigger?
