Seeing as I now have a motherboard with 2 PCI-E slots, I was thinking of getting a mid-low end nVida card to run along side my 4850 to handle any physx duties, and as a bonus get me in on some of those nice meaty F@H ppd rewards nVidia users seem to get.
Thing is I am clueless as to what cards the green team have out that will fit my purpose, was thinking along the lines of a second hand 9600, or 8800GS, but am not sure what the power consumption of these cards would be like or if a new lower end xxxGT or whatever they are called these days, would provide the same performance but lower noise and power usage because as a secondary card I wouldn't want to be paying loads extra on my electric bill.
Also a quick question about the drivers, I assume they will live happily with each other, many moons ago I had a 7500 PCI and a Geforce 4 running together, because at that time I needed 3 monitors, and I remember a couple of times getting into fierce fights with the drivers after updating them trying to get them to work the way I expected.
