TL;DR - PhysX can be dedicated to an nVidia card with one or more AMD cards as the primary display and GPU processing by using the mod provided on this link:

I have another post discussing the possibility of adding a 3rd AMD card, but now I am pondering the addition of an nVidia card. Almost every game I play has incorporated PhysX (Crysis 2, Metro 2033, and The Old Republic which I will be playing tomorrow). Anyone have personal experience using AMD cards primarily while running an nVidia card for dedicated PhysX calculations? Which cards do you have? How is the performance hit? How do you like it otherwise? From what I'm reading, I will need at least a GTX260. I can get a GTX260 new for about $99, or a GTX460 off eBay for about the same.
Edit: Ended up picking up the GT 545 and it worked out perfectly. All games utilizing PhysX experience zero lag or slowdown. Effects appear incredibly natural.
