I believe that 1060 cards have SLI disabled and don't have the appropriate connectors otherwise yes it would probably work.

i7-6700k | Cooler Master 212x | ASUS ROG Strix 1080 | 16 gigs Avexir Raiden Green RAM (because plasma tubes always improve performance) | ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING/AURA | Phanteks Enthoo Primo SE Green

Only with DX12 games that support it. So one game so far.

Why would you do that anyway, if you can afford 2 1060's then you can afford 1 1070.

No that's not true, 2 1070's are better than 1 1080.

Then get a single 1070/1080. Just as fast in CUDA stuff as two 1060s and miles ahead in games on a 1080.

Ye ole' train
