That will be a massive upgrade for you from your 660 Ti 2GB
Yes indeed.
I had a EVGA GTX1070, but I sent it back for RMA when Metro Exodus released, my textures weren't displaying correctly. They found fault with the card apparently, but they wanted to replace it with an inferior product and didn't cover Dead on Arrival within the limited warranty time remaining, so I asked for a refund, I only got half my money back.
After that I got a RTX 2060, ironically, I still had that texture issue. Here I got my full refund back and bought a new monitor while waiting for the new RTX 3000 series which was just a couple of months away and at the same time also upgrade my other components as there is clearly something wrong with either the CPU or RAM. In the meantime I am using my very old GTX660Ti which keeps crashing my games.
So yeah, now I have corrupt textures with a card that keeps crashing games.
I refuse to pay scalper prices, so now I wait, for 5 more years if need be but I will not be coerced into buying at these price levels and no, I will never buy second hand again due to miners.
In any case, it's pointless to upgrade the CPU/Mobo and RAM if I can't buy a GPU. By the time I can snag a GPU, the new Ryzen and Intel platforms will launch. I am annoyed but I have a lot of patience.
