The last driver to support the 280 was 341.95. Anything newer doesn't support the card.

I think the GTX-280 is EOL and the last driver that supported it was 341.95: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/99998/en-us
To use it as a PhysX card you would have to use the older driver and I don't think this older driver will support the GTX-680.

The driver that supports the 600 series cards doesn't support working with 200 series cards..The driver that supports the 600 series cards only supports working with 400 series and newer cards..See the supported products list in the NVIDIA Driver versions..You'll need at least a 400 series card to work with a 600 series card.
