It would be pointless to do that. The 780 has way more than enough power to run PhysX, and the 660 Ti would only cause unnecessary power consumption.

That would probably result in an even greater performance loss. It's not even worth it.

Quick question, i have a GTX 780 as my main GPU but i have a 660Ti which was my old card just sitting in its box.

 

Would running my 660Ti as a deticated PhysX card in my system give me any performance increase?

Search the forum. No its not worth using a dedicated card.
