I know you can do 4 way AMD crossfire, but I was wondering if you could do Nvidia sli too.

My specs are:
windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
i5-4670k haswell 3.4Ghz cpu
Nvidia gtx 660
B85-PLUS motherboard
12gb ram
1tb 7200 rpm hdd
 
AMD allow Crossfire on anything, even stuff that cant adequately support it. Nvidia specify there must be at least 8x bandwidth on each slot for it to be SLI-Ready.
Basically if a board is SLI certified, then you know you can consider dual graphics cards, even if your buying AMD.

It has two 16x PCIe slots, one 2.0 and one 3.0. Does that mean I can use sli?
