I have a GTX480 with a GTS240 (higher clocked OEM version of 9800GT) being used for PhysX. I wanted to see how much faster games with PhysX run while using the dedicated GTS240 for PhysX versus doing it on the GTX480. So I downloaded the Cryostasis Tech Demo and got some very interesting results.
With the GTX480 plus the GTS240, the result was:

And when using only the GTX480 the result was:

It seems there is only a slight increase in performance when using a dedicated card for PhysX with the GTX400 cards. With GTX200 cards and below, the boost from a dedicated PhysX card was much more drastic.
