[Elijah]

Hello everybody, I'm as of now contemplating updating my Graphic card. I have GTX 1080 or . and thinking to move on RTX 2060 or GTX 1660-Ti However, Most of my friends guide me to upgrade the mother too other wise it would be extremely bottlenecked. What you think do i need to change my board too ?

Yes, Sometimes you have to upgrade your motherboard when you're thinking to update the card. But if you have a good gaming motherboard then it won't necessary. Which motherboard you're currently using ?

Your motherboard can easily handle and 1080, on the other hands it won't support RTX 2060. I think maybe an RX460 or a 1050ti can be supportable too

Your motherboard seems look good but outdated too. It can support both cards but it will effect on the performance. Upgrading the CPU would be a great deal too it will help to see vast improvements in the majority of situations.

Thanks for the informative post. I will move to ryzen 3 processor/Motherboard and probably go with the 1660-T

If you have a good budged then buy GeForce RTX 3070. Since you're upgrading to new motherboard with processor then why not chose an updating card too
