Default A good PhysX card to pair up with 5850/5870?
I will be getting a 5850 once Newegg have more Asus ones in stock. I'm wondering what would be a good PhysX card to pair up with the 5800 series.

Will a 9600GT be sufficient or do I need a 9800GTX/GTS250? Or maybe an even lower end card will work perfectly? (I heard something about a not powerful enough PhysX card will actually decrease the overall performance)

thanks

No, they put a block on it. Nvidia card will not work with an ATI card.
