IT is best to have 2 of the same cards for SLI, different clock and core speeds make it difficult.
that motherboard only supports amd crossfire, it does not natively support sli.
What You Need For An SLI Build
In order to build a SLI-capable system, you need the following:
A motherboard with at least two free PCIe x16 slots, operating in at least in x8 mode (Nvidia does not support SLI on x4 links). Pretty much all LGA 2011, LGA 2011-v3 and LGA 1150 motherboards satisfy this requirement.
Two (or more) identical Nvidia-based cards that support SLI, or a dual-GPU card like the GeForce GTX 690 or Titan Z. Generally, different cards won't do the trick.
A suitable power supply. Increasing the number of GPUs in a system rapidly increases its power requirements. Take that into account when you choose your PSU.
An SLI bridge. This is generally provided by your motherboard's manufacturer as a bundled accessory.
The latest Nvidia drivers. If you're reading this article, we're pretty sure that you know that you can grab these from Nvidia's website.

Looks like the board does natively support SLI

ive everything I need as I'm aware ive got both gpu's in now both 770's says I can use PhysX but that's not what I want ive got the sli connector connected ive tried both sli ports and I bought the motherboard from new not even a year ago I made sure upon buying that it was NVidia sli capable just a note this is my first time attempting to sli I thought it would of been as simple as plug in and play as most of the tutorials ive watched look soo friggin easy if somebody would give me a run down of the process id be greatfull and can somebody confirm to me weather or not the gpu's need the same bios ive read somewhere they do but I don't really want to flash my cards and risk bricking them feel at a loss thanks for the hhelp so far guys we will get there!!
