Dedicated PhysX card or not?

    I just purchased a GTX 560Ti-448 core edition. I will be getting a MASSIVE upgrade from my old 9500GT. I have an SLI capable motherboard would it be worth leaving the 9500GT as a dedicated PhysX card or is the 560 so fast that it would do both PhysX and the graphics better simultanously? I know the 560 absolutely destroys the 9500 a thousand times over but wasn't sure how demanding PhysX was. Even if I could free up just a few fps that would be great!

    Definitely use it as a physx card in games that support it.

    Doing physx on gpu can cause as much as 50% performance drop on ANY card,it does even on my gtx590 in Batman Arkham city.
