PhysX will not up your TF2 framerate for the simple reason TF2 doesn't use PhysX. It will help in some games, UT3 for example, but not TF2.
You may get a little increase as drivers often improve teh performance of cards by making them more efficient.

I think the 8 series supports PhysX, but I'm not sure if it's just 88 or all the 8 series.

You can check compatability on the nvidis site I THINK, but anything after patch 1.7 should get PhysX

It's only available on certain hardware, Dragon, or example, I'm pretty sure the 7 series doesn't have it. It's to do with nVidia's CUDA tech.
