Upgrading Graphics Card

[dontkillthefox]

Hello, I'm trying to upgrade my Graphics card from gtx 960 2gb to Evga GeForce RTX 2060. I'm not sure if my motherboard  EVGA 132-bl-e758 can support rtx 2060.

Should I buy it or not? I just want to run games like call of duty warzone at high+ settings. I hope you guys give me some suggestions.

Thank You.

 

Here's my current setup

CPU: Processor    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU         950  @ 3.07GHz, 3051 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Motherboard: EVGA 132-bl-e758
RAM: Corsair XMS3 CM3X2G1600C9

GPU: GeForce GTX 960 2 GB
SSD: corsair force 3 SSD
HDD: Hitachi hds721010CLA332
PSU: Corsair TX750W

If your motherboard was purchased seperatly, it's safe to assume it's compatible.

If your motherboard was a weird part of a prebuilt, it's a gamble. Worse case scenario you have to buy a proper motherboard you would of had to eventually anyway

what you should REALLY ask is, does EVGA 132-bl-e758 support pcie?

It's fine. However do keep in mind you'll have a pretty big cpu bottleneck in games. That and you have 6gb of ram?

I would assume that the GTX 960 in the system more or less confirms that it does

then this implies that most if not every gpu made this decade should work

You'll have dips on cod no matter what gpu but the 2060 should normally stay at above 60 fps. However you may wanna look around for a used 1070 as those are hovering around 170$. But really a rx 480/580 will be maxed out by your current cpu in any situation so might wanna go for that as to not waste money on performance you'll never be able to use.

Do you know where I can get a used 1070? I tried ebay but all I could was ones on bid and overpriced and I live in Canada    
Thanks for your advice.

If they are overpriced then just get a rx480/580 that is the limit of your cpu anyways. Or older similar performing cards like the r9 290x, r9 390x, fury nano and gtx 980. No point in going higher as your cpu won't keep up.
