Yes, but they might not work the same with any overclocking software you use.

Well but the clock core speed is different will it effect it ?

Technically yes, but if one or both of card uses a custom bios(even from the manufacture) they may not be recognized as SLI compatible. If that happens I have heard of people having success using a program called DifferentSLIAuto to enable SLI.

Yes, they will work fine however the higher clocked 970 will be automatically lowered to match the slower card.

^^This....I had two different EVGA 970s, but factory overclocked. The second GPU was a newer SSC and the first GPU was the original release SC variant. Due to different BIOS's, the GPUs did not work in SLI. EVGA even had a list for what cards of theirs SLI and do not SLI with others. I wound up selling my original SC and bought another SSC.
