Yes with a Crossfire board or a SLI one...

You need a nVidia Videocard .

Windows XP or Windows 7 with the Emulated XP Mode

And not the lastest Drivers of nVidia... The lastest ones block the physx when a ATI card is founded on the system...

Windows 7 or XP and 185.68 drivers or ealier with your Nvidia Card...186.00 and above Nvida are being ass hats and are blocking PhysX if an ATI card is present.. Of that answers your question. If you use 185.82 and above PhysX will be blocked. I had a conversation with Nvidia and they are being asshats if Nvidia cards are being used for PhysX and ATi cards for rendering

Normaly nVidia Physx package was separated of the videocard bundle ? You could give a try with a old version of the physx suite(nvidia one of course) and the newer drivers. It could worth the try... IDK if it's at the driver level this is blocked or at the application ...
