Sorry Marcel but don't do this! This is very stupid idea.
1. You need Windows 7 or XP for dual drivers
2. You need lower drivers then 170 (or 180 I am not sure), because nVidia has stopped with supporting this stuff
3. Even communication between AMD and nVidia card is weird and not 100% reliable...
4. Power of both cards will get less then before
5. You need really good motherboard (and expensive) for this
6. Behavior of both cards is unpredictable (then you need better power source.. you never know what can happen)
Except AMD Hybrid system...
I really can't advise this one... if you want to have DX11 and PhysX and these stuffs wait for nVidia Fermi... anyway I don't see further in PhysX
For me it's not stupid at all, in my opinion it is more stupid not to use an old card for this. It works very well and sure you need a good other hardware, my corsair PS can handle it easily.
I am not saying we all need to do this, I just brought a nice idea to try out for some who have these cards and not use it anymore because they own a ATI now.
