TWO Nvidia GTX 1060 chips in Blender for 3d rendering?

Can i use two 1060 chips in Blender for 3d rendering?
I know that SLI is not supported and what about cgi computing.
I have Gigabyte GA-A370 Gaming 5 mobo.

You can.

Using more than one GPU will certainly speed up cycles. In user preferences->system->compute device you can configure which cuda devices to use (or ignore). When rendering, each GPU will render one tile (following the settings on the performance tab). The more GPUs, the more tiles being rendered simultaneously, so two GPUs will cut rendering time almost to one half. Other than rendering, only one GPU will be used for calculations and to refresh the screen. The memory accessible for rendering is going to be limited to that of the card with the least memory.
