Aren't the kepler cards gimped for any compute related stuff? Doesn't PhysX fall into that category? If so, i'd grab a gtx 570 for super cheap and have it be faster.

I think a GTX 460 is considered now to be the optimal level of performance for high end physics with a dedicated card.

Not a fan of the added heat/power this would bring really.

I think a 460, 560 or 650 would be the way to go.

BL2 will chew up anything you can throw at it in 4 player big battles. On that note I'd go 650 ti or boost minimum myself. (See my thread on the issues with the 690 stuttering in big battles)

You will get slowdowns regardless. Hawken was pulling 20fps on my Titan with max PhysX. A GTX 650 would work just fine IMO. No need to break the bank. Get a small one too so it doesn't take up so much space.
