4870 + Ageia PhysX Accelerator

I think most were PCI. I know they were working on a PCI-E version but I don't think many if any were shipped. The PCI model I have works fine with my 4870X2 so you should not encounter any issues with your setup either.
 
Yes but some of the newer Nvidia drivers dont work with the PCI PhysX card. Are you aware only some PhysX games support hardwre PhysX? It could be worth posting here what games you want to use with it, to check it works.

so basically it'll only be worth it for a handful of games. If that?!

so no point adding one then if the drivers wont work for all games.
 
What games do you play a lot and want to use with it? If its cheap enough it could be worth it, but only if the games you play have support.
 
At work so cannot check my home list but off the top of my head none of those games gain extra effects from a PhysX card. Mass Effect is a little unclear some say it has hardware support but it will only be more FPS not extra effects. So the card doesn’t look like its much value to you.
 
just found this list on Nvidia site
