Afaik BOINC/F@H doesn't care if the GPUs are in Xfire/SLI, so long as they exists in the system they'd work.

ok so does it utilize the full 16x or can i put a 16x gpu in 8x or even 1x

(Can't remember where I heard this from) Some projects actually benefit from a higher bandwidth so try get both GPUs in x16 slots running in x16/x8

Yes. If you do, though, put the Nvidia card on the slot with the higher bandwidth (aka the top one) and the AMD card on the lower one.
