What is the cheapest card that would be good enough as a 2nd video card specifically for Physx? Would a 8500 be powerful enough for that?

Your GTX 260 shouldn't need any help running PhysX.

But if you just want one, I think the 8800GS/9600GSO is the minimum for PhysX as the 8600GT isn't up to the task (IIRC).

i was wondering if it was a waste at least in the short term but having the info now would be useful if I come across a deal for a high enough grade video card cheaply enough. I do have an 8800GTS that will be sitting around once my 260's RMA comes back.
