Can I fit another Gigabyte Gtx 1070 G1 in this MOBO?

Hello,
I have this motherboard
http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z170X-Gaming-3-rev-10#ov
and I'm wondering if I could fit another GPU in it since the gap between them doesn't seem enough for another G1 Gigabyte GTX 1070 excuse me I'm new to SLI and yes I already have that GPU and I want put another one.
Thank you.

You'd have your GPUs in the x16 slots (which would operate at x8 for SLI)

That being said, SLI is rarely recommended. Unless you perform specific tasks that can utilize the individual power of the GPUs, or solely play titles that scale well with SLI - selling your existing and purchasing a 1080 or 1080TI would give you better performance in general.

Thank you very much!
Yeah I have been thinking to sell it and buy 1080
so you recommend that I sell it and get a 1080?

Yes

The only time it would make sense is if you exclusively play a title that scales very well with SLI - and there's very few of those around today, and they're becoming increasingly rare (to even support SLI is becoming rare, let alone doing it 'well')

Definitely as the tittles that properly support sli are few and far between.

Thank you guys! and yeah I have noticed that some titles work even better without SLI lol and yeah that would be economically well since I could sell the 1070 and get money too 😀
