SH4 is not a DX10 game. It takes no advantage of DX10 and has no knowledge of DX10. It uses DX9Ex (on Vista). Thus, a PPU would make no difference (not that DirectX has any support for PPUs in the first place, unless you can find something relating to PPUs
here that I'm not seeing).

As for GPU's mounting a physics card - while its possible I would expect that they would avoid it.

Nope, nVidia and AMD are already pushing in this direction. GPUs are becoming more general purpose thus using them as PPUs in the near future.
