I have a evga gtx 1060 6gb and i have spear gtx 750 ti 2 gb. Should i install the gtx 750?

The 750ti should do about an extra 80k PPD, so you'll have to consider whether or not that's worth the extra heat and power consumption.

If the 750Ti wont tank the 1060 then yes, do it. The GTX 1060 6GB should be good for 380-420KPPD so you'll produce about another 20% with the 750Ti in the mix.

 

If you are CPU folding just make sure you've reserved 1 thread/core for each GPU under windows (i.e. if you have 8 threads just CPU fold on 6)
