Nops. It only works if you have two cards from the same series. Like two RX460-480s etc.

Also you have to check if your mobo supports CrossFire or SLI.

SLI is for NVIDIA.

CrossFire is for AMD.

sli is the ''bridge'' that bridges (connects) the nvidea cards together

it uses the pcie bus and extra bandwidth from the sli bridge

amd uses only pcie bus

You can have both cards in your PC.

I've run both a 750Ti and R9 290 in one PC for the purpose of F@H, not for gaming benefits.

Going to add onto this by saying you can have them both in for multimonitor setup if you don't have an integrated GPU. My PC doesn't have one so I need two video cards just to run 5 screens (immersive gaming). I can also dedicate an entire GPU towards PhysX if the games I play support it.

 

Generally the benefits of a secondary GPU are minimal and mostly aesthetic (visual). Especially mixing AMD/nVidia.

 

So can you? Yes. Is it practical? Not really.

I've done this before, it's totally possible. You can't actually take advantage of the extra power in games, but you can use it as a second monitor. Also, with DirectX 12, you can use Explicit Multi-Adapter, which lets you use both of your 2 GPUs together to increase performance. Of course, this is a relatively new technology, and won't be widely available in games for quite some time. If you want to do something like cryptocurrency mining however, this will be helpful.
