I can say that I am 100% sure that you do not need a Geforce card, or actually any video card at all, to write and use programs that are built on the PhysX SDK. You would only need a Geforce card if you decided to use hardware acceleration, which currently only works for fluids and cloths. So basically, for what you are doing you cant even utilize a Geforce card with the current version 2.8.x of PhysX.
