Hello, I would like to install another GPU in my PC. I have an Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 motherboard, and a Corsair AX860i PSU. I have 1 Zotac 980ti Amp Extreme and would like to install a second one. However it looks like it would block the fans of the other one and may cause problems with the wires at the bottom of the motherboard. Thoughts? Could I install a GPU of a different brand/clock speed? I want to be able to run GTA V in 4k maxed out at 60fps and the 1080ti can only do 55fps at 4xMSAA, so I would like the performance to at least equal the 1080ti. Also on a side note, my case is an InWin D-frame limited edition #400 out of 500, any idea what I could get for it? Thanks

Hi, I would suggest getting a 1080ti if you are not on a budget. You can sell the 980ti and adding the cost of a 980ti and money from this card should get you a decent amount to be able to get an 1080 ti. It will also enable you to gain the same performance you will get from two 980's and in future you can go SLI with 1080ti. Don't get the zotac amp extreme ones if they are available because they are broader than most of the other cards and have installation issues in SLI.

And for the fitting the 2nd gpu, I don't think you can add another gpu in that space of same brand. Using different brand and frequency card have their own problems. It will limit the setup of the slower card.
