Better off selling the 970 & picking up a 1070 or 1080.

/e Unless you get a REALLY good deal on another 970.

What PSU do you have?

you can only sli a card with the exact same card i believe, there may be a few exceptions but the speed will be limited by the lower frequency anyways

Any 970 will work. It will just lower the clocks to the slowest of the two.

you get aprox 1.5 x more performance it doesn't exactly scale as one might think. 2 doe snot mean 2x.

It does, But IIRC a 1070 will be faster than 2x 970's anyways.. And less heat / issues with games. About the same price after you sell your current 970.
