Hi,

I'm thinking to update my PC with an extra GPU.
Here my specs of my current PC build:

-Fractal D. Define R5 Black
-Intel Water Koeler TS13X
-Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
-Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.00GHz
Skylake 14nm Technology
-RAM 32.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1070MHz (15-15-15-35)
-ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. MAXIMUS VIII RANGER (LGA1151)
-DELL U2515H (2560x1440@59Hz)
-2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (EVGA)
-232GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB (SSD)
-1863GB Western Digital WDC WD2003FZEX-00SRLA0 (SATA)
- Corsair RM1000 1000W

In the attachments some photos of the inside.
The goal is to get faster render times with my Octane plugin for C4D. Mostly to make animations.

Because I'm from Belgium, I would buy my hardware in this store https://www.alternate.be/Hardware/Grafische-kaarten

Which GPU I should buy, to have a good combination with my already build in NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti hybrid and the rest of my PC?

Best,
Tim

If it was me, I would find some cheap GPU out there to have a dedicated GPU just for yout monitors that way rendering did not affect your viewing monitors, then pick up a 2070 for $500. Have 2 dedicated render GPUs and a GPU for working/viewing. That would give you a score around 363
