I've currently got dual GTX-280s in my system which supports triple SLI.
Am I better off getting a 3rd GTX-280 and going triple SLI, or using that 3rd video card as a PHYSX processor instead?
If i decide to go the Physx route, does it matter how powerful the GPU is -i.e. does it make sense to drop some cash on another GTX-XXX card vs picking up a 9600GT or 9800GT on the cheap?
EDIT
Machine is a c2d E8500 running at 4.5ghz, 1200watt PSU in an Antec 1200 case.
Yes, i have a motherboard that supports 3 dual slot video cards. Yes it supports triple SLI. Yes i have plenty of cooling. Yes i have plenty of power. Yes everything else is up to spec and is about as fast as i can manage without going Core I7.

For going multi-graphics cards, you need to ascertain these things,
I put up some references in an earlier answer to
Is it possible to run two separate video cards? yesterday.
