Will an EVGA GeForce GTX 760 work alongside an Asus GeForce GTX 660?

I got a new graphics card for Christmas, and in its manual I read that if running multiple cards they have to be in the same family. Does this mean I would have to have both as Asus (or EVGA) cards or will it work since they're both GeForce cards? I also read on another forum that in order to install a new graphics card I would need to uninstall previous drivers, but would I need to do that since they're both GeForce cards?

I tried tying the 2 together via the SLI cable, booted it up but did not get a display on my monitor, whether plugging the monitor into either cards or the motherboard.

I'm still not sure as to what to do though. I have drivers installed for both cards and when both cards are, and my monitor is plugged into the original, I don't have any display (monitor stays in sleep mode).

Apparently not. I put just the 760 in after resetting the CMOS and it booted up to the bios as I expected after further reading.

Thanks for the help!
