Yes. 

 

As long as the cards have the same GPU and the same amount of vRAM, they are compatible. Brands can be mixed.

yes they will both work, but remember that using sli might not work with all games you might try to run on the system.

It would look ugly af, but yes they are compatible.

I disagree, the colors match fine.

i would have both as the gaming card, but when i purchased the the non gaming model, I was unaware that MSi made gaming cards when i purchased it, so I decided to get the gaming card now for christmas and use the gaming card as my primary card and use the non gaming card as my SLI card
