Are all Nvidia cards SLI compatible?

Can you run dual graphics cards that are different?
Yes, this can technically work—both cards will give you graphical output. However, different cards cannot be linked together to function as a GPU array (CrossFire or SLI), so you generally won’t be able to use them together to render graphics in games. The cards will operate independently of each other.

What is the best SLI configuration for gaming?
Note: 2-way SLI is the most popular and active SLI configuration used today because Nvidia has reportedly dropped most of the support for 3-way and 4-way SLI. This is because of the complexity involved in driver development. Modern graphics cards such as GTX 1070, GTX 1080 and higher will only support 2-way SLI.
