Anyone using a physics card?

Anyone using a physics card? What are you using? I'm running two 8800's in sli and I'm wondering if I can use any old videocard in the third pciex16 slot or does it have to be an 8800 as well? The third card I have is a 6800GT.

You can't mix cards with SLI. also, the only cards that even support triple SLI are the GTX/Ultra.

Well a third graphics card doesn't need to be in sli if it's used as a physics card.
Therefor wouldn't it be ok to use a different type of card?

GPU is not PPU. Won't work. Not worth the hassle of trying even if it did.

It does work, EVGA forum people were able to do it, except theres an incredibly long list of BSoDs and other errors you'll get while doing it so yeah not worth it.
