Can my motherboard support a gtx 1050 and a 750 ti?

That board will run both cards at the same time just fine. As long as your software is correctly configured, I don't see why you should have any problems.

There is no SLI support with the configuration you have in mind, but that's not your intention anyway.

The first two PCI x16 slots are both wired for full x16, so those are the slots you want to install your cards into.

The only way I can see this working is if one of them is dedicated to GPGPU type work (Cuda core usage, PhysX usage, etc.)

You can't SLI them for two reasons. 1) they are too different (and different GPUs) 2) the 1050 is completely incapable to SLI.

This is on a per application basis. Software that is configurable, like Blender, gives you the option to choose which graphics device will be doing the rendering.

If your software is not configurable, you're pretty much out of luck assigning a particular card to the task. You may only end up being able to decide by which card is considered the primary.

The first application to grab control will usually attach to the primary graphics device, but there is no guarantee that subsequent programs that try and attach to a graphics card will attach to the second card, the first again, or just fail altogether. This is going to be something you have to figure out through trial and error.

As far as both cards installing and running, you should be fine. But as I already mentioned, how your particular software is configured to use a particular card is going to be on a per application basis.
