So I just upgraded my msi geforce gtx 1060 6gb armor ocv1 to evga rtx 2060 ko ultra. Should i keep my 1060 in my rig? Due to not being sli compatible would I run into issues when gaming? I currently have 240hz monitor for my gaming with rtx 2060, should I try running my tv as second monitor on the 1060? Or keep hdmi for tv on the rtx 2060? Also saw videos of using dual GPUs for streaming isn’t even benefiting my frames. So idk if I should keep the card in, how I should run displays, or if I should kick the gtx out and use it to mine or something although I don’t even know how to mine

The second GPU won't be able to improve gaming performance, I guess you can keep it if you totally love the look?

 

Alternatively, run folding@home on the 1060 24/7, put it to good use.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?
