Yes, It will work just fine.
A SLI compatible card just means that it has the ablilty to run in SLI if you had the setup. They work just fine as stand-alone video cards

Haha, John is right; every single nVidia card these days says "SLI Ready" on the box. They can, of course, still be used by themselves in a non-SLI setup.

Seeing as how all GeForce cards nowadays are SLI ready, I would have to assume yes.
