While having dual graphics cards is SLI Mode, would it be better to have phys x process on one of the GPU's or CPU?

You do know Phys X has been dead for quite a few years right? Having the one and one really does nothing anymore, and most games do not scale with GPUs. If this was 2006-2012 maybe, but its been quite some time since having a phys X card was actually a thing.

 

Id suggest just testing whether or not SLI actually improves your performance, rather then adjusting that kind of setting. Make sure they are actually getting utilization. Other then that make sure your settings in both Nvidia Control  Panel and in game are set correctly, as some games can also be a bit finicky for SLI.

PhysX?

Any modern system should easily be able to run games from the era when PhysX was a thing. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

SLI and PhysX are both basically dead now, but PhysX should always be run on a GPU. CPU PhysX has never been a good idea under any reasonable circumstances.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
