Looks like this might be an interesting buy.....
Especially the part there at the end, about being able to use 1gpu as a PhysX and one for graphics.

Raja!
Come and talk to us.

Interesting buy for 500$ and letting one of the cores handle physics calculations would be a waste of a core pretty much paying 275$ for a physics chip. Then you're left with a slower mediocre core to handle the graphics. Basically you'd buy this beast if you have a big 30 inch+HD tv and want high rez+AA.
Here's something to read reguarding upcoming PhysX.

I can tell you that the GTX295 isn't just two GTX260 or GTX280 cores glued together. It is a unique core and uses a brand new memory interface technology, as well as intra core communication setup. We are also separating the delta clock systems entirely from the cores, allowing for direct core communication while keeping the shaders independent. This will remove that dual card "stutter" you sometime hear about on dual card solution such as the 9800GX2 and 4780/4750 X2 cards. In short, the card will work more like one card instead of two cards.

If I think of anything else, I will tell you guys.
