I'm curious about fitting a second GPU in my PC along with my 4080. I've heard it's still possible to use two GPUs, but I'm wondering about the physical space on my motherboard and if it's actually worth it for performance. Will having two GPUs provide a significant boost, or is it not as beneficial as it sounds?

I would advise against having two GPUs for most situations. You typically won't see any performance boost, and it can even introduce instability issues. If you’re doing heavy GPU workloads like AI processing or using lossless scaling, then dual GPUs could be useful, but for standard gaming, it’s probably not the way to go.
Technically, you can fit a second GPU depending on your motherboard's PCIe slot layout. However, in terms of gaming, the performance benefits are minimal since most modern titles don’t utilize dual GPUs effectively. The only time you might see a performance increase is when using Lossless Scaling for frame generation, where the second GPU helps with calculations. Overall, adding a second GPU isn't generally worth the trouble.
