The instant problem of doing physics in the console GPU is, of course, that your GPU no longer has enough power to "make pretty pictures". If you want 1080P/60Hz as your target, you'd better put a high-end GPU into your console... Technically, an A10/HD7770 combo would still be ok, do the physics on the A10 and forget all about that pseudo-xfire stuff.
