VFX on second GPU

I am in the process of spec'ing out a new system and I had a question regarding VFX.

I understand the mechanics of why monitoring swapping across multiple GPUs degrades overall system performance, but what I am wondering is if VFX will have the same effect.

If I run dual video cards and run the dxNothing window in one and the game window(s) on the other, will this have the same negative impact on performance? Or, will splitting the processes up between video cards effectively spread the load out and make life easier on the primary card running the game windows ?

Nope: Video FX can be used without a negative performance impact. :)
