Phys x; CPU or let a video card do it?

Thread Starter 
I just have a question about the performance of games with Physx. If I have a QX9300 and 2 GTX260ms in SLI on my m17xr1 is it better to let the CPU be dedicated to Physx or let one of the video cards take care of it? I am really clueless on which is best for performance. Though I could prolly benchmark it and find out but i recently reinstalled windows 7. Has anyone tried this? Right now my cards are in SLI and i have the CPU selected for Physx. What do you guys think?

figured i would ask the opinions of others but apparently the gpu is going to be a little bit faster cause its designed for it

Yes the GPU would be much faster and better performing than the Physx card.
