Would it be possible to run an extra Asus Tuf gaming RTX 3070 gpu on my current pc build to use as a powerful workstation / gaming pc… (maya, 3d studio max, adobe photoshop and other digital art programs I'm using). I willing to save up too $1000 for a RTX 3090 though I can trade a old iphone 12 pro max on craigslists for a RTX 3070 GPU right now.

Ryzen 9 5900x
Asus Tuf gaming wifi 2 x570 mobo
Asus Strix RTX 3070 (damaged fan’s)
96GB DDR4 Ram (32GB * 2 / 16GB * 2 @3600mhz)
512GB Crucial SSD
1TB Samsung Evo 860 SSD
4TB Seagate HD
1200w corsair psu
 
To make a dual GPU setup really worthy, you should consider some factors like

- Are your software optimized for dual GPU?

- Do your software use CPU more or GPU more?

- Do you need both GPU running all the time?

In most of the cases, a single high-end GPU is better than two GPUs.
