No, but I wouldn't have thought it would show any gains either - I'm pretty sure 2x 480 in SLI are fast enough to handle any current physx workload and rendering without batting an eye. This might change with future titles if they were really physx heavy as the 9800GT is quite capable when dedicated to physics.
 
Not sure about two gtx 480's but it certainly helps one gtx 480.

In the gtx 480 my overclocked gtx9800+ gives as good a performance as the gtx480 doing the physx.

Interesting, I didn't see any real tangible performance difference between GTX260 SLI doing PhysX + Rendering and GTX260 SLI rendering and 8800GT doing PhysX - maybe 0.5-2fps higher in stuff like Batman and some of the PhysX demos. If I disabled one of the GTX260 it helped a lot tho.
 
Selling my 9800GT because i dont really play PHYSX games. I dont see the point in buying this card just for phsyx. Its a perfectly good card for a light gamer.

So no difference when you add the 9800gtx as dedicated physx card compared to single gtx 480 doing everything?

I didn;t make myself clear, was in too much of a hurry!

Looking at the gtx 480 owners thread, the gtx 480 is much faster than a 5850 in every game.

However, my 5850 plus my 9800GTX+ matches a single gtx480 in batman with physx on full at 1920 x 1200. With physx off the gtx480 is much, much faster.

That lead me to the conclusion that the hit on the gtx480 running physx is quite substantial and that having a 9800gtx+ do the physx work allows my 5850 to keep up with a gtx480. Hence the reasoning that if the physx was offloaded from the gtx480 to a dedicated card, it would then be much faster.

My theory may be flawed though and would need testing by somebody with a gtx480 and a 9800gt/gtx to check.
 
Yeah PSU will be fine - I ran Q6600 @ 3.6gig + 5 HDDs + 2x GTX260 SLI fine off a 600watt OCZ PSU for awhile before upgrading to a 700watt PSU (matched my case better).
