i was thinking for a while and was wondering if it is possible to team a 1070 and 960 in the same system. because i wanted to take some load off my 1070.

No you can do it like that, the cards cannot be used in SLI. They can be used separately, but one will not affect the other at all.

ok thats good. but i have tried this about 2 years ago with a gtx 660 and a hd7770 and no dice. i thought that it was impossible, but i am glad it is a real possible thing.

Not really, just install both drivers and they can be used separately for like two different monitors. In some professional apps or mining they both can be used at the same time, but nothing for gaming.

You could use the 960 as a PhysX processor, but that's kinda dead so not really much point...

i am just going to use it to run my 4k lg monitor on displayport and take some of the work off the main gpu being the 1070

The 1070 shouldn't have too many issues running 4K, one of the things the tech community forgets to tell people is that the 1070 will do 4K pretty well, the 1080/1080Ti is just better at it.
