how to add a dedicated physx card?
how does physx actually work?
can i use any old video card as a physx card?
how do i set it up?
 
Just thought I'd add my query to this post.
Does a dedicated physx card require a pci-e slot and therefore probably SLI? I thought the PhysX card required a PCI slot so no SLI was required. I personally only have 1 PCI-e slot in my computer so wouldn't be able to get a physx card otherwise.
 
You need a second pci-e x8/x16 slot for a physx card. While you do not enable sli most boards that are not sli/xfire capable will not have a second pci-e x8/x16 slot available.
 
so how do i add a physx card on a evga e758?
which card should i get?
how do i enable physx from control panel?

On the EVGA e758 you'll want to install a dedicated PhysX card in the 3rd, or bottom, pci-e slot.

What card do you have already?

You enable PhysX in the Nvidia Control Panel.
 
Basically you need an SLI board.
You can do it with any board that has enough PCI-E slots.
You only need an SLI board for SLI.

Of course, there's also the silly artificial restriction Nvidia imposes where you can't have a non-Nvidia primary card with a dedicated PhysX card. But there's a hack to get it working.
