Just got my 2nd GTX 260 (used for $150 woot!) and I need to update to the 191.07 drivers anyway so I'm going to do a fresh driver install. Thanks for the help.

I think one of the points is incorrect.

If you have 3 of the same cards and want to use Dual SLI and one of them for Physx, you must use a regular SLI bridge and not the tri sli bridge.

Link two and you'll be able to have dual sli + physx.

With the currant drivers, if you have 3 of the same card you will not be able to dedicate the third card just for Physx. The bridge is not important in this setup. nVidia has some work to do with their Physx drivers.
