Is your current GPU Lagging Behind? What resolution you play on? What kind of FPS do you want? What games do you play ?

Well you need to decide whether you want a computer or not first. If you sell your entire system, you won't have a system to buy a new graphics card for.

If you sell your entire rig, you'd be losing more money. You'd probably sell that rig for like 600-700 USD. Which is enough to buy 
1. RTX 2060 + Ryzen5/7 or Intel and that's about it, you wont have enough money for the other components.
2. rtx 2060+ well. you wouldn't have any money left for anything, you might as well just upgrade.

Well, you have an 8600k in a B series board which is pointless because you can't OC, so you could sell it and get an i7 8700. That's the only thing I would sell other than the graphics card, because the platform is fine. Upgrading to something like a 2060 for max details 144Hz is a good move.

rtx 2060 is 50% faster on the technical side. you consider if that is good enough for you.. with a 2070 you have almost a 100% improvement over your 1060. 
I have a 1060 3 gb and considering 1080 or 2070 gain good enough to change but that won't be for next year since the 1060 works almost at a 100% satisfaction in my games

I think no, as your is the best. It will be so pity if you sell it. It is faster and more reliable then the other ones. If you sell and then buy another one you will lose money.

on games you'll have like 10 extra fps which is stupid considering the price.

~400€ for a Card with only 6GiB VRAM doesn't seem like a good deal at all.

You should look at other offers - like VEGA56 for example, wich don't have the VRAM Problem in a way the other Cards do have it, if you need more than 8GiB VRAM. And that is a hard PLUS for the Card and a NEGATIVE on the RTX, wich will come to bite you in the end...

 

As said, there will be a new AMD CPU in a couple of weeks, wich is said to be pretty good.

And also a new AMD GPU Generation should be released later this year around summer.

 

So I'd wait if possible as the upcoming AMD GPUs are said to have rather low prices...

So i guess its not worth it . Im thar kind of people who wants to get best performance and quality for cheapest price. Oh also looking forward to future if i am going to sell my rig later , i ll get much more smaller price than you mentioned .

[MisterZange]

As far as i know the games are nicely running on 10 series , but im curious,  what will happen after 1 year , i hope game developers wont start to reconfigure their engines for 20 series . It would be very bad as long as im in 10 series. To mention im not playing so much , but im just thinking .

there is a whole lot more going on then only the 10 fps… Stuff like better outlining, smarter antialiasing.. better pixelation … i have a 770 1050ti and a 1060 3gb lying around and i did test them casually. i usually compare with a total war game since that is mah gameseries of choice and it is noteworty. The 770 for example is a lot stronger then the 1050ti 23% i believe on the technical side but the 1050 has way more impact on shading, colours and antitaliasing. It can't handle antialias x2 high but the fxaa mode is stronger then the 770's. If you take the 1060 in the comparrison ( which is 35% faster then the 770 ) the card almost looks like a giant compared to the other 2 cards

Did I just hear that right? A 2060 is 50% slower than than a 2070? I assume that they release the 2060 and 2070 on pluto and over there they have a 50% gap in performance. As far as Planet Earth is concerned there's a 20% improvement at best usually.

 

Anyways...

 

You could do with a gpu, yes. But I wouldn't go from a 1060 to a 1660/1660ti. What I would do is forget about buying one for now and wait until Navi comes along. It should offer 1080/2070 level performance for around $300. Don't buy the 2070. It's a joke for the price. It hardly leaps ahead of the 2060, and it costs 150 more. And the 2060 doesn't solve any problems either, because it only has 6gb vram which is criminal as far as I'm concerned.

 

There is no point wasting $300 on a card that gives you 30% more performance, it's such a waste. Just wait till amd navi and spend then.

Well not exactly … I usually look at the benches delivered by userbenchmark. My choice was as opposed to the 1060 3gb. the 2060 is actually 63% faster and the 2070 98% faster… still the difference between 2060 and 2070 seems to be 22% according to the figured delivered by that which seem to be an average of cards benched using the software from userbenchmark

It is 10fps faster if 1060 gets 20fps you're right.
