I doubt FSX will support Physic Cards. And it also wouldn

Short answer, no.

Long answer may be found on the developer's blogs, linked from here:  http://fsinsider.com

Cant remeber where but I read that the PhysX stuff will end up being incoporated onto the actual graphics card, i.e. DX10 ones. If this is the case then I'd hold off buying one and wait to upgrade to a DX10 card with it on.

If what I read is not true (could well be) then if you play the games that support and use its features its worth it  8)
