Ok since your questions are very similar I will answer without quoting (and plus I am tired lol):

You are not required to have the two monitors plugged in, I've had a setup once where I used the same monitor with two connections and I managed to get it to work, basically you connect the VGA-DVI dongle to the NVIDIA card and the DVI cable to the ATI card and instead of disabling the ATI card and enabling NVIDIA card you just press the scan or source button on the monitor and it changes from DVI to SVGA in which the NVIDIA card would be active, then you can enable physx and then switch sources again to DVI.

This is the exact same as before but it must be done with two monitors first so that you can install the Drivers properly, once the drivers are installed properly then you can do what I just explained.

And to fossild2:

The point of this for me at least was just for Vantage and some PhysX games, because it was unfair that the CPU marks were so much higher just because of the PhysX being on the NVIDIA cards, and also it increases the FPS during PhysX enabled games by a huge margin. As an example my CPU mark tripled in Vantage.

Can you not triple post. There is an edit function for a reason.

That and the fact that now he has to wait couple hours before he can reply.

And as for your question the card has to be connected to a monitor or something so that it is recognized during boot up, else it won't be detected. And after the setup it still needs to be connected to something whether it be the same monitor or two monitors

You can still do this with two DVI-to-VGA dongles, it should produce the same result, you can just alter between the two connections I think.
