Can I combine vram between separate cards if they're different?

Nope. The only way to get more VRAM is to either solder on different memory chips to the GPU, but that's a crap shoot whether it would work or not, buy a new GPU, or in the case of a couple workstation cards (Quadros) use two of the same cards and share VRAM with NVLink. 

 

Basically, unless you want to potentially screw up your GPU, sell both the 1660 and the 1050Ti and get a better card.

I need to upgrade my vram but I dont want to buy a new gpu. I currently have a 1660 6gb and 1050ti 4 gb. Is there a way to use to the vram from another gpu to help out my main one? Could this be done by using my 1050ti as a phsyx card?

No you cant. VRAM has to be fast, if it has to go through cards it will be so slow that you might as well not have them.
