Separate PhysX card worth it?

I will soon have 970 SLI in my system (X99, 5820k, 16GB RAM) and have a 670 4GB from my old PC that I'm debating either selling or using as a separate PhysX card. Is it worth using as PhysX? Does this actually bring any real benefit in a 970 SLI set-up, or would it just consume more power (I have an 850W PSU) and not offer anything significant in terms of cost/performance benefit, therefore better off selling?
 
Not worth it and 970 SLI will be more than enough. I am currently using a Titan as a PhysX card, but that is only till they sort out 3 way SLI (which isn't great).

Sell it while it is still worth a few bob :)
 
Id sell it tbh mate, Unless theres quite a few PhysX specific games you play or want to play? the Odd game here and there isn't worth the hassle of an extra card for PhysX! IMO ofc! the 970's should handle PhysX for what you need
 
Yeah, that's what I was thinking... just seen a few people using separate PhysX cards of late, so it crossed my mind. I'd rather get the money for it anyway tbh lol! ;)
