Maybe. Your mileage may vary and it will be a little annoying, but there are guides.

Install yeah, usable nope, the last Nvidia GPU to receive macOS support was the 1000 series. Your 2060 will only work in software mode which makes the entire OS chug and is pretty much unusable.

I also have an older pc which works just fine :

 

Specs 

Mobo: gigabyte z97 gaming 7

Cpu: Intel i5 4460 3.2ghz

Graphics card: Asus gtx 750 ti 2gb oc

Ram: corsair vengeance 1600mhz ddr3

 

Will it work on this one? 

Thx again

It's also an Nvidia GPU. I don't think it'll work.

It will use the intel baked in gpu.

 

ontopic: If you want to use a Graphics card use AMD. Nvidia no longer supports mac os .

it might as apple continued support until the 900 series. Any way, you can check out the linus tech tips video on how he got it working with a ryzen cpu and i think a nvidia titan xp

The last supported cards are pascal in driver version 387.05.05.05f01 (or later) on High Sierra.

The Titan XP is Pascal based.

Take a look at this video. Quinn goes through how to setup the installer and OpenCore. You would want to get an AMD GPU since those for the most part would be supported natively by macOS. With Nvidia, 2000 series GPUs are not supported. I presume because of the dirty laundry between Apple and Nvidia.
