Yes, if you have extra PCIe 16x mechanical slots, you can leave the old one still in. Double check your PCIe slots. If you can make sure you put both in a slot running PCIe 16x electrical. If you can't, put the slower of the two into the 8x PCIe electrical slot. I suggest doing a clean uninstall of the driver and use the latest CCC installer on both.
