Does anyone know how an 8600 GTS would perform as a PhysX processor?

Im currently on a EVGA 8600GT and it performs the physX functions pretty decent,

although i wouldn't recommend it as primary, i guess for physics calculations it will suffice

I'm using Windows 7 build 7100. My primary monitor is on my 4870X2 and my secondary monitor is on a Nvidia 9800GTX+. Having the second monitor on the 9800 which will allow Physix while my 4870X2 renders the graphics. WDDM 1.1 is the updated video driver scheme in Win 7 that allows heterogeneous display adapters again.

Cool, but I am going to wait for the benchmarks to come out for the 5800 and GT300 series. Whichever one performs better I will be buying, and either way I will be getting Windows 7.

this is the dvi-vga adapter mod, so the card can be tricked to think there is a monitor attached:

I have a feeling that the 5800 series will beat the GT300 out of the gate. Nvidia is not only having fabrication issues but this will be their first DX11 chip. From what I understand they are having issues with the 40nm process even with the current G2 chips. AMD has already perfected it to a point. I know everyone is going to say it is AMD's first DX11 part also which is true...However DX11 is no more than DX10.1 with some changes and improvements. The N-men never did make a fully compliant DX10 or DX10.1 chip.

GT300 is looking to be the best processor for general computing.

Looking to "be" and actually being the best are two different things. The question is can Nvidia pull it off. At this point it's looking really bad for them. I think we may actually see Larabee before the GT300 chips.
