NVidia does not support SLI with the 1060, and SLI is not supported by most games, so no, you should not buy another 1060.

Don't buy a card right now though. Prices are really high.

i currently have a 1060 founders edition graphics card and was wondering if i should buy another 1060 to run alongside it or if i should buy a 2070/2080?

SLI is well and truly dead at this point for games, I can't say I really see a point in it (and that's ignoring that the 1060 doesn't even support it). If you can sell off your 1060 and get a 2070 at a reasonable price, that's the route I'd take. Otherwise just suck it up and put up with it until The Great Drought Of Reasonably Priced Garbage™️ is over

In what? CUDA Accelerated apps that can run multiple cards? Games? Either way its a bad deal imo, you better off getting a 3060Ti when theyre back to normal price by scalping that 1060 out there right now.
