well if anything, it wont hurt ur cards to sli a ref 670 with a 670 ftw, if it's a good deal then grab it.
it's just that the ftw wont see 99% utilization if the sli scales perfectly, because a "perfectly" sli scaled game will only run both cards as fast as the lower clocked card can handle. no real difference between that and sli'ing 2 ref 670s.
one thing i would do is put the FTW as primary card, that way for anything not-sli, you'll get the faster card to run things :)
