Ok, last week, I posted something in regards to my i7 5960 and FPS. That was a bad post I will have to admit.

Ok, having such power with the dual 980's, do you think using one for Physx would be a waste?

Your thoughts... thanks!

Yes, it automatically load balances between the GPUs. The only time when you want to select a GPU for Physx is when you have a heterogeneous set-up where SLI is not available (Once DirectX 12 games start to appear, you then won't even want to do it then, either).

I think I almost understood that. Sooo, for right now, its good to have one card for Physx?

No, you'd be better off not dedicating a card to PhysX. (The "Yes" had been in response to the question of if it would be a waste)
