UPDATE: Thanks everyone for your input! I will be definitely getting the GPU


I recently had a job for 2 weeks, and now I have the opportunity to upgrade my graphics card using the paycheck I got.

My current Graphics Card is a used ASUS GeForce® DUAL GTX 1050Ti 4GB
The Card I am interested in purchasing is a GeForce® RTX 2060 SUPER™ GAMING OC WHITE 8G

I don't know if the upgrade will be a huge step-up or not, and I don't think it will be worth all the money if it isn't.
I would probably end up spending some of the money on buying a chroma keyboard, and rgb lighting for my gaming area otherwise since my rgb strip recently burnt out.

Current Build: @1080p 144hz
MOBO       Asus Prime Z270-A
CPU          Intel i7-7700k 4.2Ghz
GPU          Asus 1050ti 4GB
RAM          Corsair 16GB 2666Mhz

They transmit a digital signal yes but they don't use light like fiberoptics.

You can safely run cheap cat5es upto 100meters without losing gigabit capability. Running fiber for 15 meters is not feasible at all, plus fiber optic cables are much more fragile than copper cables.

Cat5e copper Ethernet cables can run 100m(328ft.) at 1Gbit before seeing any performance or reliability degradation.
 
But if you are insistent in your idea you could use media converters. Connect copper to the media converter. Run fiber to your room. Convert back to copper. I don't really recommend it though unless you have a seriously far away computer. Beyond 100m away.

Did want to expand on the above a bit. Even though you're getting more than you think, you're still not getting the full 40Mbps you should be so I would call your ISP and complain that something isn't right since you're paying for more than you get, by a good bit. If it was within a couple Mbps then I wouldn't bother but getting half of what you should isn't acceptable. I would try disabling all other wireless devices and get within 10 feet of the router and retest and see, if nothing changes then give them a call.
 
 
For anyone who is interested why Mbps and MBps is different and why it's sold in Mbps is because information is transmitted in bits, 1s or 0s, however the smallest amount of information that can be stored is 8 bits or 1 byte.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
sorry someone had to say it

Wait just read previous posts nvm

TELL YOUR PC TO FUCK OFF

Already got a dog.
 
Maybe I should take it out for more walks. Women love a tall dark handsome man, with a small itty bitty dog. Can get laid that way. Need my own place tho

French has ZERO uses
 
Heck even employee's in the federal Canadian government are not required to learn french. Yet they still teach it in the schools. What a waste.

thought about making a game? 

it should along with having 6 cores 12 threaded processors for the same price as an i7 now.
