The question would be here. Does the Oculus rift support dual GPU's?
If it adds a support then maybe yes but knowing how SLI develops that might be difficult or pointless.

As long as the SLI support is there and the CPU to handle the GPUs are certainly enough

My Xeon and 970 score 8-9 out of 10 for virtual-reality capability

I forget when I tested it or where I tested it

I don't know how serious you are but if it were me I would sell them now why they still have value. Then you're only 100 away from a 1070 on sale. For ex. some recent deals. Granted you have to save some and get by w/o a main gpu, it's not easy for sure but personally I'd rather have that hassle and recover $250 towards something than nothing. Btw, craigslist is lowball city.
