Yes, given that both 6/8-pin PCI-E cables have their own dedicated cable coming from PSU, rather than them all being on the one cable.

Your video card power connectors should each have their own cable going to the power supply. You could cause an overload, and maybe start a fire, if you try to draw two 8-pin power connectors from a single cable, if your video card has a heavy load put on it.
