I got a 7850 for my main card but I still have my old GTX 460. Should I keep it for PhysX?

I don't currently play any PhysX games AFAIK, although I could swear one of them that I installed uses it.

Are the PhysX effects worth keeping my card for? I could probably get $60-70 for my card.

Did anyone figure out how to break NVIDIA's PhysX block in heterogeneous configurations? I thought that was still locked out with any kind of recent driver.

I believe there is a workaround but why on earth would you want to do that for like one decent game with physx a year?

sell that gtx460 and put the money towards getting a big boy monitor instead of playing at the horrible 5:4 aspect ratio 1280x1024 res. a widescreen will do a lot more for all your gaming than a few optional physx effects in one game a year.

I have a 21.5" 1080p display now.

I will sell it though, thanks for the input.
