Roman, you can set your system up in such way that each GPU is assigned one X screen (not Twinview where you have one large desktop stretched over the cards). Then OSG will use two graphic contexts and render on both cards for sure. On the other hand, I doubt that you will see much of a speedup compared to a single card. If you are rendering for an HMD and do not have some kind of special, high-end high resolution one, you are most likely bound by the CPU and not the GPUs. Usual HMDs that I have seen have resolutions from about 320x240 (low end) up to about 1280x1024 (decent, expensive stuff like Kaiser) - the GPU you are mentioning should be able to cope with that easily.
