I am considering adding a 980Ti to my setup at home to boost my Octane rendering power. Can anyone advise on the PSU I have and if it is sufficient to run both?

I have a 750W Corsair RM Series 80PLUS Gold Modular Power Supply link below

I currently have a 980 & 750 Ti in there which runs fine. Added bonus if all 3 would work in there together, but likely that the 750 will come out and go into my older setup.

Would hate to shell out on the GPU just to find that my system suffers due to overloading it.

The RM series is a decent power supply liine. It is pretty good for a 980 and a 750.

However, when replace the 750 ti with the 980 ti, that changes things quite a bit. Adds a lot to the power stress that the PSU will take.
Will it take it? It should. Will it shorten the life of the power supply. Yes.

Running all 3 video cards on that power supply? Don't. Definitely too much on that PSU.
