So I need to upgrade my GPU and was wondering if I could use a new GPU like a 1660 with my old one a 1050ti

nope, you cant SLI 2 different cards (for game performance). You can however keep the card in you PC and use it for F@H 

NOTE: I AM NEVER ALWAYS RIGHT, BUT I AM HAPPY TO HELP ANYWAY I CAN

Tag me @WambleCropped or quote me so I can see your reply

Why do you want to use the 1050 Ti still?
Yes, it can be used together (assuming your PSU is strong enough), but there are only a very limited amount of reason as to why you want to do that (not for better gaming performance, since they won't work together)

You can use them on separate monitors but you can't combine their performance if that's what you were after

Quote or Tag people so they know that you've replied.
